I've finally gotten brave enough to try RedHat 6.0 - but the CD won't autoboot for me. What I had to do was create a bootable floppy with CD driver, define the CD as drive Z (to get it out of the way in case I had other hard drives), copy \dosutils\autoboot.bat as rh6set.bat on the floppy and call this from the floppy's autoexec.bat. I then had to edit the loadlin line of rh6set.bat to: z: cd dosutils loadlin autoboot\vmlinuz initrd=autoboot\initrd.img initrd.img was not in the place specified in the original autoboot.bat. There were initrdN.img files (N being numbers) there. Hopefully helpfully... Dexter
