redhat failure

[John Seth]

I have an old Gateway P/166... I can't get it to even recognize the RH8 
CD's I downloaded and burned.  Yet, it recognizes the RH 7.3 disks I 
have.  That 166 is now my home file server running RH 7.3...

I believe my problem is the motherboard used, the IDE controller/BIOS/or 
some other factor may not properly recognize the boot sectors of my RH 8 
cd's.  You may want to see if you have the same problems with RH 7.3.

Wish I could help tho.
