well here is what i do. i boot up from the boot floppy i made. it give me a 
menu of different installs. i type at the 'boot:" prompt "linux hdb=cdrom" 
to make sure it knows where my cdrom is and that should also tell it i want 
to cdrom install. it enters the graphical installer. it asks for my language 
and the keyboard type. so i enter those. then when i get an error that says 
"I could not find a Red Hat Linux CDROM in any of your CDROM devices. please 
insert the Red Hat CD and press 'ok' to retry". and i do notice that when 
the kernel and installer are loading that it does say hdb=my cd rom info. so 
it thinks its there i just get that message in the installer. doesn't make 
much sence to me. maybe the cd is bad?
