I'm just learning myself but I believe that you have to download
the entire structure of the RedHat directory:
\RedHat
\RPMS
\base
\instimage
\lib
\usr
\etc
\bin
When you store the directories RPMS, base, and instimage have to
branch from the / directory of the drive. An important thing to
note is that some of the file names are actually pointers to other
files within the same directory. Since DOS/Windows doesn't support
the unix pointers, I think you have to create two copies of the file
giving each it's separate name.
I'll be testing this by trying to burn my own cd-rom later so I can
verify it for you at that point. Until then hehe I'm having trouble
getting my adaptec 2940 controller and drives to be happy on my 5.1
system. Any ideas people might have would be greatly appreciated :)

If I download the entire set of RPMs from:
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/linux/redhat/redhat-5.2/i386/RedHat/RPMS/
does this constitute the complete Redhat 5.2 and if so does anybody know
how to install all of it?
Thanks,
