Not sure if this is the right place to come to, but I don't have "RHN"
support.....I'm hoping someone can help me out here.
I have downloaded the RHEL .ios file and burned it to DVD/CD, my laptop
is primed to Boot From CD/ROM Drive, I start the installation using the
semi-graphical interface, and the first few options are a breeze, then
it gets to identifying the CD drive and it asks me which driver I want
to use....there's only a list of about 10 and NONE of them work, when I
select it, it searches for a minute, then it goes back to the "Install
Your CD Drive" screen. Is there some way to skip this part? or to have
the install disc automatically find this info? Did I download the wrong
version of RHEL? (supposedly it's free...but I do not know this for
sure....maybe there's a "different" version than the one with the paid
subscription and support?) Any help someone can give would be
appreciated....I've included the output of my lshw in the hopes that
someone can point me to the file that I need to get past this point?
Cheers!
