While it's been a couple of years since I've installed Red Hat (which I had used since the first Halloween pre-release CD that Mark Ewing sold from his apartment) using instead Mandriva, Xandros and Ubuntu, I always since the days of the 486sx/33 just booted the CD and installed.  Unless your network interface is some kind of real strange (last time I had a problem was on a corporate token ring network that I wasn't supposed to connect unapproved stuff to anyway, but I managed on the second try).

The reason folks don't think of installing Windows as a painful experience is roughly the same reason men don't think of childbirth as a painful experience.      Mike, http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/03/30/letters_3003/
