I just got Red Hat Linux unleashed the book and it came with red hat 4.2. I
am having a hard time installing it. The book is not very detailed on the
installation process. I am putting it on my old AMD 486-DX4 120 w/ 12 MB
ram. My CD-ROM is SCSI, and it isnt supported by the install program....how
do i do this?

The SCSI and ATAPI CD ROM drivers are part of the high level drivers (i.e.
SCSI or EIDE drivers respectively). They are generic drivers, that is they
are supposed to work with every SCSI/ATAPI CD ROM out there. The *%$#-CD ROM
drivers are just for brain dead non standard CD ROMs. In other words: I'll
never find a driver for my Nec 512, but I needn't as it is a SCSI drive.

1. Red Hat 7.1 - Installing Red Hat packages after Red Hat is already installed.
How can I install packages that I forgot to install with the Red Hat
7.1 installation?
Here's my problem:
Various pieces of Red Hat keep saying that I am missing a file and
that it needs to be installed with a certain package (namely most of
the Kontrol Panel). But I have been unsuccessful at finding where
this is done. I am still a newbie with Linux, but I would assume that
there should be an "Add/Remove Programs" equivalent with Linux.
Please help!
