OK, I went to CompUSA and bought Red Hat 7.2 Professional. Now here's the
weird thing.
When I boot, the CDROM is seemingly not recognized and Lilo loads and it
boots Linux 7.1.
What gives? I changed the boot order in the CMOS to boot CDROM first, and I
also held down "C" while the
Toshiba splash screen came up. I installed 7.1 from CD this AM, and I've put
the 7.2 CD in another machine and
it boots to the CD no problem.

Any ideas?

Is there an Red Hat equivalent to Solaris OK> boot cdrom ?
