Also you can mount the iso's and install them that way just to a different mounted drive..just requires lots of mounting and unmounting. If you really want to go this method we can discuss it but its a bit of work

At least red hat gives you that option. Red Hat's installation will download the files that you want to install and install them on your machine. |  | Senior Member with 116 posts. | | Join Date: Mar 2004 Location: Charleston-SC, USA | | Hiya raccoon,
Generally we can't give a god advice without knowing well your experience in Linux.
If you are a newbie, maybe a distro like Fedora will be good for you. I posted on my page (see signature below) some links for installing Fedora.
There are other good distros for advanced users, like
Gentoo ( http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handboo...ook.xml?part=1)
or Slackware, but as I said, one cannot give you the best answer 'blindly'.
HTH, liviu

So, for RH9 there are no, other updates to come (I'm a RH9 user).
This link below for noobs is quite NEW: http://www.fedoraguide.org/fc2/fc2beginnersguide.html
The only major problem reported with FC regards dual boot with Windoze XP.
