Boot.iso is simply a boot CD and nothing more.  If you want to install
of the (bootable) CDs, burn the CD iso images.  CD 1 is bootable.

Subject: ABout making a bootable installation cd


I'd recently downloaded the RPM from the RedHat;s ftp site. My internet 
connection is slow and cant handle the files with large size. Now i want
to 
know that how to create a installation cd from the downloaded rpms and
other 
files like dosutils, boot.iso.
I tried to make a bootable cd by using ans iso editor. First I opened
the 
boot.iso then added all the files and folders leaving the isolinux, as
it 
automatically comes there from boot.iso. and when i birnt the cd and
booted 
the computer from the cd, after booting, it asks for the installation
mthed. 
I selected local cd rom but it fails as it cannot find the files and
shows 
that it is unable to locate the installatio n files. please tell me how
to 
create a cd which will start installing linux after pressing <enter> on
the 
windows where it ask for the installation method as text based or
graphical. 
I want to make my cds as same as the cd burnt with the ISOs. please help
me 
and tell me in detail that where to copy files and what to do after
that. Any help from any one will be Apreciated. Thankyou Yours sincerely
Aman Singh
