RH7.2 Bootable CD

[ali2555]

Hi,

Is it possible to create an RH7.2 bootable CD without installing RH7.2 on my computer?

Thanks

All the Red Hat installation disks that I've ever seen are indeed bootable, but I'm pretty sure that RH 7.2 was not a liveCD, if that's what you mean. In fact, I don't think there were very many liveCD distros back then.

Download the RH7.2 boot isos and burn them to a disc as image file. Any reason you need RH7.2? That is a very old distro and has no support.

Thanks, I downloaded the iso files, what is the best software to burn them as image?

I like Brasero and K3b, but you can find many more options at the bottom of this HowTo:

...or you can use this direct link:

Note that if you have relatively new hardware, you might run into some hardware driver issues when you move back to RH 7.2 because it came out in October of 2001, and lots of hardware drivers have been added to the Linux kernel since that time.

Let us now how it goes.
