>Is there anyway for Red Hat to boot from a floopy and then continue the boot without the user having to press "enter". The boot screen says that the boot will continue in 10 seconds, but it doesn't... so I currently must hit "enter".

You can boot from within Windows by installing RH using the 'loadlin' option, as I mentioned in another reply. I've never done it but 'Big J' (the other Jerry) will know how, and Your RH manual will tell you how to use it.

You may want to consider using a software program called VMWare. When it is installed it resides UNDER both WinXX and Linux. You can switch back and forth at will,instantly, and share info and resources. It requires a horse of a PC, though.
