Booting from CD is a function of your computer's BIOS, not how your hard drive is set up. When you turn your computer on, you can usually hit <del> (or F1 or some such thing.... look for the message) to enter your BIOS setup. Look for the boot sequence setting and see if your computer supports CD-ROM booting.Quote:

You should be aware that 8.0 is not the newest version, but if for some reason that's what you want...Quote:

I assume you mean CD images, and not floppy images. :rolleyes:Quote:

If that server is busy (which it often is), you can find a list of mirrors at http://www.redhat.com/download/mirror.html
oh well i didn't know where i could find out where i could download 9....
if 9 is just as free... can i download that there too?
quick easy answer, there all free in one way or another.
