Once again I'm in trouble. My friend downloaded the two Linux 7.0 ... .iso files
and put them on CD's. I downloaded the boot.img file but I can't get to the 
stuff
on the CDROM!

The install process tells me there is no Red Hat disk?

The CD's are set up as follows -

/root# cd /mnt/cdrom
cdrom# ls -al
total 5
dr-xr-xr-x   1 root     root         2048 Wed Dec 31 19:00:00 1969 .
drwxr-xr-x   6 root     root         1024 Fri Jul 28 11:43:37 2000 ..
dr-xr-xr-x   1 root     root         2048 Mon Oct 16 14:32:46 2000
7.0-i386-disc1.iso

cdrom# cd  7.0-i386-disc1.iso
7.0-i386-disc1.iso# ls -al
total 656135
dr-xr-xr-x   1 root     root         2048 Mon Oct 16 14:32:46 2000 .
dr-xr-xr-x   1 root     root         2048 Wed Dec 31 19:00:00 1969 ..
-r--r--r--   1 root     root     670564352 Sun Oct 08 00:03:52 2000
7.0-i386-disc1.iso

He apparently saved the file to a directory of the same name as the file. In
addition the permissions do not permit executing the file on the disk directly.
Both disks [1 & 2] are done the same way.

Can anyone suggest a way out of this? Or perhaps I'm doing something wrong?

I only have a 2 gig HD with 623 meg's partitioned for DOS/Windows. I considered
deleting the DOS partiton and copying the CD's there one at a time but even then
I am short on space with less than 200 megs free space left in the Linux
partitions. And I don't know if the Linux 7 installation could be done that way,
copying one CD at a time?

Don't know what to try next ...
