<title>DIRECTORY ORGANIZATION</title>
<para>
&DISTRO; is delivered on multiple CD-ROMs consisting of
installation CD-ROMs and source code CD-ROMs.
</para>
<para>
The first installation CD-ROM can be directly booted into the
installation on most modern systems, and contains the following
directory structure (where <filename>/mnt/cdrom</filename> is the
mount point of the CD-ROM):
</para>
<screen arch="x86">
<!-- <remark os="test">(x86)</remark> -->
<computeroutput>
/mnt/cdrom
|----> Packages -- binary packages
|----> images -- boot and driver disk images
|----> isolinux -- files necessary to boot from CD-ROM
|----> repodata -- repository information used by the
| installation process
|----> README* -- this file
|----> RELEASE-NOTES* -- the latest information about this release
| of &DISTRO;
`----> RPM-GPG-KEY* -- GPG signature for packages from &RH;

<para>
The remaining Installation CD-ROMs are similar to Installation
CD-ROM 1, except that only the <filename>Packages</filename>
subdirectory is present.
</para>
<para>
The directory layout of each source code CD-ROM is as follows:
</para>
<screen>
<computeroutput>
/mnt/cdrom
|----> SRPMS -- source packages
`----> RPM-GPG-KEY -- GPG signature for packages from Red Hat
</computeroutput>
</screen>
<para>
If you are setting up an installation tree for NFS, FTP, or HTTP
installations, you need to copy the
<filename>RELEASE-NOTES</filename> files and all files from the
<filename>Packages</filename> directory on discs 1-5. On Linux and
Unix systems, the following process will properly configure the
/target/directory on your server (repeat for each disc):

<title>INSTALLING</title>
<para>
Many computers can now automatically boot from CD-ROMs. If you
have such a machine (and it is properly configured) you can boot
the &DISTRO; CD-ROM directly. After booting, the &DISTRO;
installation program will start, and you will be able to install
your system from the CD-ROM.
</para>
<para arch="x86;x86_64">
<!-- <remark os="test">(x86;x86_64)</remark> -->
The <filename>images/</filename> directory contains the file
<filename>boot.iso</filename>. This file is an ISO image that can
be used to boot the &DISTRO; installation program. It is a handy
way to start network-based installations without having to use
multiple diskettes. To use <filename>boot.iso</filename>, your
computer must be able to boot from its CD-ROM drive, and its BIOS
settings must be configured to do so. You must then burn
<filename>boot.iso</filename> onto a recordable/rewriteable
CD-ROM.
</para>
<para arch="x86;x86_64">
<!-- <remark os="test">(x86;x86_64)</remark> -->
Another image file contained in the <filename>images/</filename>
directory is <filename>diskboot.img</filename>. This file is
designed for use with USB pen drives (or other bootable media with
a capacity larger than a diskette drive). Use the
<command>dd</command> command to write the image.
</para>
<note arch="x86;x86_64">
<title>Note</title>
<!-- <remark os="test">(x86;x86_64)</remark> -->
<para>
The ability to use this image file with a USB pen drive depends
on the ability of your system's BIOS to boot from a USB device.
