This manual focuses on a CD-ROM based installation, so it is ideal for users (both
new and old) who want a quick and simple installation solution. It will help you
prepare your system, walk you through the installation, and assist you in the
configuration of Red Hat Linux.
 | Note |
|---|
| | If you currently use Red Hat Linux 3.0.3 (or greater), you can perform an upgrade. Skim
Chapter 2 to review the basics, then read Chapter 4, following the directions as you go. Once you have chosen
to perform an upgrade in the installation program, refer to Appendix A.
|
If you are an experienced user who wants to perform a Red Hat Linux CD-ROM
installation, and you do not need a review of the basics, you can skip
ahead to Chapter 4 to begin the installation process.
 | Tip |
|---|
| | Refer to the Red Hat Frequently Asked Questions for
answers to questions and problems that may occur before, during or after
the installation. You will find the FAQ online at:
