Loading Red Hat Linux Without Having to Use the Boot and Supplemental Disks


By Joseph Magann magann@earthlink.net
Create a directory on your HD to contain the following files

Start the libretto in DOS mode, or in DOS, if loaded connect your pcmcia cdrom or network card or scsi with hd and type ladlin vmlinuz initrd=initrd51.gz

If you are lucky it will work. Have fun ;-) It worked for me with a Panasonic KXL-740.

This information was obtained from the website of Victorgv, victorgv@bu.edu http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Haven/5112/. Do NOT try to download initrd51.gz from this page, it hangs, use ftp above.

This worked for me with the Libretto 50CT from DOS, with no problems!
