I just purchased the cd version of RedHat 9.2.
I want to install it on my machine that has ME on it, however I dont see a setup file on the disk, I received 3 disk. Please help if you can.Thanks.

You are not going to find a setup file, or anything resembling windows files or programs. Linux is completely different. Just like you can’t install Mac software on a Windows box, you can’t install Linux on windows either.

Basically, you are going to boot off of the first CD to run the install, but without going into it too much I would suggest that you read the install doc’s from Red Hat that can be found here - https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/...install-guide/ . And pay attention to section “G. Configuring a Dual-Boot System “. Read through the whole doc and see if you don’t have some more specific questions.

i totally agree with logan5. if you really were looking for the setup program. i would seriously recommend you read well about linux and installing it before you try it.. Also back up all your essential data. Newbie experiments(atleast for me) resulted in tremendous data loss.
