Hello,
Well, I'm currently downloading RedHat linux 7.0 and well I was wondering if someone could clarify the files that I have to DL (ISO).

On the FTPs which offer it, there are the following files to dl,
7.0-i386-disc2.iso
7.0-i386-disc1.iso
7.0-i386-powertools.iso
7.0-i386-docs-8bit.iso
7.0-i386-respin-SRPMS.iso

Ok, well I know that I need disc1,2 and powertools, though what is the docs-8bit.iso and the SRPMS iso? Thanx. I'm new to Linux, going to work around with it on an old system before I decide to use it. Thanx

All you really need to install are:

7.0-i386-disc2.iso
7.0-i386-disc1.iso

Actually, I think you can get away with just disc1.

7.0-i386-disc1.iso is the actual Redhat installation. Disc2 is the Source RPM's which you can safely ignore. The rest you can safely ignore. If and when you have some time, you can pick up the Doc ISO..Regards

That is NOT true. Depending on what packages you select, you may need disc 2. The src.rpm disc is somewhere else. Example: if you want enlightenment or some other WM's, you need disc 2.

CONFIRM: Disc 2 is *NOT* source RPMs. I found this out installing RH7 last week (or the week before).

Though, I'm still wondering, what's on the DOCS and SRPMS discs? Thanx
