RE: Loading Redhat with a New Hard Drive

["Renee Lee" <drlee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One has to remember that what is easy to one may not be easy to another.

Knowledge of the Linux O/S is required to properly secure the system for
protection from
outside hackers.  The basic install if you defer to the default setting do
not guarantee
your system will not be broken into from the outside and used for things as
a mail
relay for spamming.  If you do not have minimal knowledge of what needs to
be
changed when you install then you leave yourself open to security breaches.

It's really easy. The first installation cdrom is bootable, so you just boot
from that and follow the instructions that the installer presents.
