Description John Stracke 2000-10-13 15:48:17 UTC 
The disk image at
ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.0/images/i386/update-disk-20001009.img is not
bootable.  For a start, it's an ext2 filesystem, not a DOS one like the one
that comes with the boxed set.  In addition, its contents are nothing like
the one that comes with the boxed set.  Here's the ls -alR:

/mnt/tmp:
total 104
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root         1024 Oct  3 18:32 .
drwxr-xr-x   10 root     root         1024 May  4 18:17 ..
-rw-rw-r--    1 root     root        32605 Oct  4 16:08 fstab.py
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root        12288 Oct  3 17:49 lost+found
-rw-rw-r--    1 root     root        57287 Oct  4 13:05 todo.py

/mnt/tmp/lost+found:
total 13
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root        12288 Oct  3 17:49 .
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root         1024 Oct  3 18:32 ..

That's all.  Looks like somebody posted the wrong disk image.
Comment 1 Michael Fulbright 2000-10-13 17:56:59 UTC 
This is an updates disk for the installer - it is not a new boot image.

The errata advisory includes instructions on how to use the update disk with the
installer.
