Help Installing Linux by imwacc0 2004-12-30 16:58:10
Help Installing Linux

I can't get the computer to boot to CD. There use to be a way to make a boot/install disk with rawright (SP?), but I have no idea what .img to use.

This is for Fedora 3, the Autorun tells me,

#!/bin/sh
#
# Autorun script for Red Hat Linux
# Copyright (c) 1999-2002 Red Hat, Inc.

dir=$(echo $0 |sed 's/autorun//')
cd $dir
tree=$(pwd)

# Change directories so we can unmount the CD-ROM Drive
cd /
exec /usr/bin/system-cdinstall-helper $tree

But I have no idea what this means.

If you’ll forgive my using Windows turms, I need to load “DOS” and execute Setup.exe, how do I do that in Linux?
