[RULE] clarification on the iso

[James Miller]

Thanks for the helpful comments on the iso.  I was curious what was on
there, since the computer I'm intending on installing RULE to does *not*
have a bootable cdrom.  I was thinking I might use it as the main
install medium, but I gather now that this wouldn't work.  So, in any
case, I'll need to use the floppies to start the process.  I understand
now that, whatever method I'll use, I'll need the RH CD's 1 and 2 - which
is fine.  I have those.  The unclarities that remain are: 1) how does one
get the 486 kernel installed if one starts the process with the boot
floppies?  It doesn't fit on a floppy, from what I understood, so how does
it get inserted into the install and from where?  It must need to come
from that iso, right?  So, without a computer with bootable cdrom, if the
machine is a 486, one needs: a) boot floppies; b) RH CD's 1 and 2; and c)
the RULE iso - right?  And, finally, 2) I would like to use the
low-resource version of X referenced by Richard.  I would likewise need
the iso for this - even though I wouldn't boot from it - right?  When,
and how, would this get inserted into the install process?

Thanks, James
