Ah - I'm out of date.
I tried following the RH boot disk pages before but it didn't work (see
previous email).
However - I succeeded by making a Win98 boot disk which found the scsi
cdrom okay and then running the autoboot in dosutils on cd1. It's
installing (slowly!) as I type - although I'm going to download a more
recent RH and reinstall.
