+
+The default method of installing Red Hat Linux uses autoprobing to
+automatically detect the hardware in your system.  Although most
+systems may be autoprobed without difficulties, in certain cases there
+can be problems.  It's possible to overcome these problems by using
+expert mode.
+
+To start the installation using expert mode, type expert <ENTER>.
+
+While in expert mode, you will have complete control over the
+installation process.  You will also be able to enter optional module
+parameters while in expert mode.

+You can load the Red Hat Linux installation program, and begin the 
+installation process from this prompt.  In most cases, the best way to
+get started is to simply press the <ENTER> key.
+
+Certain hardware configurations may have trouble with the automatic hardware
+detection done during the installation.  While this is unusual, it does
+happen occasionally.  If you experience problems during the installation,
+restart the installation using expert mode.  Press <3> for more
+information on expert mode.

+This boot disk can no longer be used as a rescue disk.  Press <4> for

+
+There are a number of parameters that can be passed to the Linux kernel
+at boot time.  These do not include parameters for devices such as
+CD-ROM drives or ethernet cards.  Press <6> for more information.

+                      Red Hat Kickstart Mode
+
+Red Hat provides a method for unattended installation of a system
+using a text configuration file.  To enter the kickstart mode, type
+linux ks <ENTER>.   Kickstart mode works with both NFS and CD-ROM 
+installations.
+
+The installation program looks in the following places for the config file:
+   o   the broadcast server from bootp. 
+   o   the bootp server if no other server name is broadcast.
+   o   on the boot floppy if linux ks=floppy <ENTER> is given.
+
+The file it looks for is given by the bootp server as either a directory or
+an explicit file name.  If a directory is given, then kickstart looks for a
+file in that directory with the IP of the client as the file name followed
+by "-kickstart" (ie. 192.168.0.1-kickstart).  If the floppy argument is
+given, then it will look for a file named "ks" on that floppy.

+
+Some kernel parameters can be specified on the command line and will be
+passed to the running kernel.  This does not include options to modules
+such as ethernet cards or devices such as CD-ROM drives.
+
+To pass an option to the kernel, use the following format:
+     linux <options>
+If a different installation mode is desired, enter it after the option(s).
+
+For example, to install on a system with 128MB of RAM using expert mode, 
+type the following:
+     linux mem=128M expert
+
+To pass options to modules, you will need to use the expert mode to disable
+PCI and SBUS autoprobing.  When the installation asks for your device type
+that needs an option or parameter passed to it, there will be a place to
+type those in at that time.

+                       Red Hat Rescue Mode
+
+The Red Hat installation program has undergone changes that will allow 
+you to create a custom boot disk for your specific system.  This new boot
+disk is customized according to your system's hardware configuration.  This 
+will ensure that you will always be able to boot your system, even if LILO
+has been overwritten by another operating system.
+
+Your boot disk is the first disk in a two-part rescue disk set.  The second
+disk required for rescue mode must be created from the rescue.img image file,
+located in the images directory of the Red Hat Linux CD.  To create the
+second disk, insert a blank floppy in your system's floppy drive, and type
+dd if=rescue.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=72k.  You may then boot into rescue mode by
+booting from your boot disk, and typing rescue at the boot prompt.  Insert
+the disk created from rescue.img when prompted to do so.
