	Hey,

First of all, you will need both boot.img AND supp.img to install 
RedHat. Next, on your primary partition, create a redhat directory in 
which you will put a subdirectory named RPMS (that contain all the RPMS) 
and still under redhat, put everything else just like on the cd-rom. 

	This should work just fine.
