    Lads I have to install red hat on a server here, so I downloaded the iso from redhat website and burned to a dvd, but it won't boot, Is there something I need to do to make the dvd bootable to the installer. My knowledge of Linus is very limited,

    Did you actually burn the ISO as an image or just simply burn a Data cd with the ISO on it. Sounds like you did that.

    It should boot if you burned the ISo as an image.

    Is the boot sequence of the server set to CD/DVD first before the hard drive?

    You should also be able to load a boot menu from the POST screen on start up something like F8, should say.

    If not, it's dead easy to install over a network or from another partition. The instructions that come with it are nice and easy to follow if you need help.
