2. How to Use This Manual

This manual focuses on VM and LPAR installation and is ideal for users (both new and old) who
want a quick and simple installation solution. It helps you prepare your system and walk you
through the installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux includes multiple installation CD-ROMs. Note that only the first
CD-ROM (CD #1) is bootable. The additional installation CD-ROMs are required, even for a
minimal installation. Red Hat also provides supplementary CD-ROMs containing source RPMs
and documentation for all the packages, as well as a Linux Applications CD (LACD).
If you are an experienced user and you do not need a review of the basics, you can skip ahead
