This is my first post to do with the my Linux system project. I have installed Red Hat Linux 9. Even though this is an old version I am using it simply because that was what I have available.
I have borrowed it along with Red Hat Linux 9 Bible.

If you wish to boot off CD then you might need to go into the bios and modify the boot sequence.
Here is a tutorial on doing this http://www.hiren.info/pages/bios-boot-cdrom.If your system meets all of the requirements and your bios is set to boot off the CD-ROM drive then your ready to go.
Ok so make sure that disk 1 is in the drive and boot up the computer.
If your computer is setup correctly then you should see the installation screen appear.
Then a media check screen will appear, if you haven't checked the disks do so now or if you have then it should be safe to skip. Next choose your language. After that a screen will request information about your mouse. Next you choose to either upgrade or perform a fresh install. For most people you will be installing for the first time so select a new installation. Next you can choose how you want to partition your hard drive. If you are novice or have no need to use the more advance features of disk druid then just select automatic. Next it will ask you about the boot loader. For most people G.R.U.B (the default ) will serve just fine. After that you will need to setup your network configurations (LAN). You can automatically get your addresses using DHCP or set it up yourself.
Next we have setting up the firewall. For general use ie. using it as a personal computer you should set it to high. However if you are running a server you may need to select medium firewall security or you may want to use your own custom settings. Now that you have set this you will need to select any additional language support, the time zone and the root password. Remember to write this down and keep it in a safe place as it may be hard for a novice to recover/ change the password. Once this is done your can select to use any encrypted or shadow passwords.
Now all you have to do is select the packages which you want to install and confirm that you wish to install. Remember nothing has been written to the disk yet. Once you click next the disk is formated and the installation begins. This process will take between 20 and 60 minutes and you may be asked to insert other disks. After it is installed you are given the option to create a boot disk. This is now the end of the installation. Remove any disks and restart the computer.
Okay this is the end of my tutorial for installing Red Hat 9.
