[rhn-users] Install RHEL4 ES

[Clinton Fernandes]

Offhand, I suggest looking at the contents of the CD after you've burned it. You
may have just burned the .iso, rather than burning it's "contents."

I'm not sure how to burn .iso contents with linux so can't advise further in
that respect, I just know how to do it in windows.
