Quick Start Information

Those of you that have installed Red Hat Linux/Intel before and are in a hurry to get started need only boot from a boot diskette (or the Red Hat Linux/Intel CD-ROM, if your computer supports booting directly from CD-ROM). There are two separate boot disks, one for CD-ROM and hard drive installations and another for NFS, FTP, and HTTP installations1. Next, select the desired installation method. If you will be using a PCMCIA device during the installation, you will need to use the PCMCIA support disk2.

If you are attempting to install Red Hat Linux for either the Alpha or the SPARC, you really should read Chapter 2. It will refer you to information specific to your non-Intel-based system.
