    I'm trying to install Red Hat (any version, really) on a 40 GB
    partition on a computer that also runs WinXP. I downloaded 4 .iso
    files for version 7.1-i386 and I created 4 installation CDs using those
    files. My problem now is how to create a boot disk and how to reformat
    the partition and begin installing Red Hat. Can anyone give me some
    help in this area? I would ask for detailed instructions but that
    might be a tedious task; yet at the same time, every site that comes up
    in google or any README file is too broad and vague for me to follow.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
