 another newbie, trouble getting started
I downloaded the two RH7.0 iso images off of a redhat mirror.  I burned the
first one to CD using EasyCD creator 4.0... i was under the impression that
it was a bootable.  That .iso file is the only thing on the cd, however no
system will boot off the CD.  If I put my Win2K Pro CD in, those systems
boot fine off the CD.

What did I miss?

If the cd's wont boot, you can download boot floppies and build them off of
the cd using rawrite.  I don't use windows stuff to burn cd's but I also
don't use redhat so I don't know the particulars about the mirror.  I tend
to use xcdroast on a debian box I have for cd burning.  The boot images are
usually in dosimages or dosutils or something like that.

Did you power up with the RH7.0 CD in place?
Did you go to the BIOS to turn on the CD boot?
If your computer cannot boot off the RH7.0, you can make a boot floppy.

you are supposed to burn it raw, not burn the .iso file.

the difference is, you are burning it like "this is a file on a CD
format(iso9660)" instead of telling the burning program "this is the
raw data, don't worry about file format, just burn it bit by bit.

when using EZCD creator, choose something like,

under File menu, choose "create CD from CD image"
and choose filetype to be .iso image file. (not .cif) then you burn.

before you do that, tho, familiarize yourself with the documentation
system. you will find answers much faster than begging people for help
on newsgroups.

but i think it'd be easier if you just buy a CD from cheapbyte.com or
similar places.

another notion: I think you should avoid RedHat 7.0. it's known to be
problem prone. choose the last 6.x version instead, or choose another
distro.

 You burn the iso file directly to the cd as a file?
It is an IMAGE file to EasyCD creator.
You may have to rename the iso file with an extension
easycd creator with not gack on. Then just tell it to
burn that IMAGE file to the cdr/rw.

ok, that's the info I was missing.  Burning an "image" is much different
from burning a file.  Got it. Thanks a million.

Thanks for chastising me.  I really appreciate that.  And I think "begging"
was a bit of an unecessary embellishment.  It was a simple question from my
simple mind.  Sorry to bother you.

And beggars also say that it's a simple request from a simple person
who is unable, through no fault of their own, to do work like everyone
else.

What do I keep missing.  Many people have posted their problems using
the ISO images to reinstall their system when they already have one
running.

Why didn't you just down load the individual files you needed to up
grade your system.  You do have a system running -- you were able to
down load the ISO images.

Then look harder, or more successfully. Beggars also say that they
can't find work. :o)

You'd have at least to work hard enough to _convince_ me. Saying "I
looked all day" convinces me not one millimetre. Stating the results
of your days hard research in a potted summary might get you there,
as well as being useful to yourself and the world.
