[RULE] clarification on the iso

Thanks for the helpful comments on the iso. I was curious what was on
there, since the computer I'm intending on installing RULE to does *not*
have a bootable cdrom. I was thinking I might use it as the main
install medium, but I gather now that this wouldn't work. So, in any
case, I'll need to use the floppies to start the process. I understand
now that, whatever method I'll use, I'll need the RH CD's 1 and 2 - which
is fine. I have those. The unclarities that remain are: 1) how does one
get the 486 kernel installed if one starts the process with the boot
floppies? It doesn't fit on a floppy, from what I understood, so how does
it get inserted into the install and from where? It must need to come
from that iso, right? So, without a computer with bootable cdrom, if the
machine is a 486, one needs: a) boot floppies; b) RH CD's 1 and 2; and c)
the RULE iso - right? And, finally, 2) I would like to use the
low-resource version of X referenced by Richard. I would likewise need
the iso for this - even though I wouldn't boot from it - right? When,
and how, would this get inserted into the install process?
Thanks, James
