The problem:
 How do I install Red Hat 4.0 Linux on a laptop with a swapable CDROM and
floppy disk drive.

The answer:
 You can boot the install program from a dos partition on the hard disk.
No floppy disk is required. Just go to the /dosutils directory on Red Hat
4.0 CDROM and type: 
autoboot

This information has been previoulsy posted on this list, but I did not
remember it when I had to do I actually had to do an install. I am posting
it again in the hope of helping someone else with this problem.
