This NHF assumes you have an internet connection available
to work with Linux as the installation is started with a boot up of
Linux.
The sites referenced herein are valid as of the date of
this NHF printed above.”

“1. To begin the installation, you need to download some
preliminary files. You also need to make a boot floppy, so have a
blank floppy disk handy. Get “bootnet.img” from the images
subdirectory at the ftp site, e.g.,
(ftp://ftp.linuxberg.com/pub/distributions/RedHat/i386/images/). It
is recommended that the Red Hat site not be used as the connection
is overburdened and slow.”
