I am very familiar with both Red Hat Linux and FreeBSD, but have a question regarding installation onto a new PC via an external drive. I recently purchased two Dell Latitude X200's, one with Windows XP Pro and the other for Linux. When I boot of my my external Firewire (IEEE1394) drive, the installation of Red Hat 8.0 starts and I go through the first few prompts. When it comes to actually installing the program, however, it says that the CD could not be found in the CD-ROM drive. I believe this has to do with the fact that the CD-ROM is external. Anyone have any suggestions how to go about installing it via CD's? (I don't really feel like waiting for it all to download/install via FTP). Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and by the way, boot floppies aren't an option because no floppy drive is available.
