One thing you might want to add to this, Jeffrey, is that you have to do
this from some type of *nix box. When I first installed RH5.2, I had
nothing but a NT machine. NT don't do symlinks, or at least it was not
following the CD like I wanted it to. So I did a install, over ISDN no
less. Let it run all night, came in the next morning and had to let the
install run a second time to pick up some of the dead files.
