From the README,

"For CDROM and hard drive installs, use the boot.img file (most Red hat boxed
 sets include this floppy already; just boot it!). NFS, ftp, and http
 installations requires the bootnet.img floppy, which is available in the
 images directory. In additino, installs which require a PCMCIA adapter (such
 as for PCMCIA CDROM or networking cards) need the pcmcia.img floppy."

As usual, the images are in redhat-6.0/i386/images. (HTTP install? ooer,
better get ready...)

By the way, I have AT LAST enabled the rh6 mirror on ftp.heanet.ie. Took
ages just to confirm I had all the files 'cause RH's mirror host was near
unreachable. If you have problems, try using 193.1.198.3 instead of
ftp.heanet.ie.

Have fun,
Dave
