Why in the world would you want to install Redhat 7.2? It is old, has lots
of security bugs that noone is ever going to fix.
To answer your question, the cd1/images directory has a bunch of files
which are floppy disk images for booting up the computer from floppy.
dd if=cdrom.img of=/dev/fd0
for example. Or read teh instructions.
However, this will not help much as you cannot install the OS from floppy
alone-- far too big. You will need some sort of network connection as well.
Or you could download the distro to your hard disk.
ONe CD= 700MB 1 floppy = 1 MB. ==> 700 floppies. It would be cheaper to buy
a new computer.
And would take about 1 week of solid effort to install (flppies are
veryslow)
