How to Use This Manual
This manual is ideal for users (both new and old) who want a quick and simple installation solution. It will help you prepare your system, walk you through the installation, and assist you in the configuration of Red Hat Linux.
 | Note |
|---|---|
If you currently use Red Hat Linux 4.2 (or greater), you can perform an upgrade. Skim Chapter 1 to review the basics, then read Chapter 3, following the directions as you go. Once you have chosen to perform an upgrade in the installation program, refer to Appendix A. |
If you are an experienced user who wants to perform a Red Hat Linux CD-ROM installation, and you do not need a review of the basics, you can skip ahead to Chapter 3 to begin the installation process.
 | Tip | |

Refer to the Red Hat Frequently Asked Questions for answers to questions and problems that may occur before, during, or after the installation. You will find the FAQ online at:
