Subject: Booting from the harddrive
If you mean boot and install from the hard drive then yes. Make the boot
floppies and during install point it to the files. Unfortunately I found that
while RH6.2 looked for the folder structure (not the ISO) and 7.1 looked for the
ISO (or was it the other way around). I just remember that RH wasn't consistent
in what it needed to do a HD install.
