# Checking for Errata

Occasionally, revised diskette images are needed for the installation to work properly. In these cases, we make special images available via the Red Hat Linux errata listing. Since this is relatively rare, you will save time if you try to use the standard diskette images first. Review the errata only if you experience problems completing the installation.

Although most of the time it is not necessary to check for errata before the installation, it is also not a bad idea, either.

At the Errata page on Red Hat's website, located at http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/, you can read errata online, and you can download diskette images.

If you experience problems, focus on entries that include new diskette images (the filenames always end in `.img`). If you find an entry that applies to your problem, download a copy of the diskette images, and create them using the instructions in Appendix D.

Before you install Red Hat Linux, you will need to perform the following steps:

Note
If you already have another operating system installed and want to create a dual boot system so that you can
use both Red Hat Linux and the other operating system, please read Appendix G for more information.

Step 1 - Do You Have the Right Red Hat Linux
Components?

If you have purchased the Official Red Hat Linux boxed set, you are ready to go. However, mistakes occasionally
happen, so now is a good time to double-check the contents of your boxed set.

A black, red, and white Registration Information card is included in your boxed set. A list of the contents of your
boxed set version is on the back of the card. Please read over the list and check to make sure that you have all the
CDs and manuals that are included with the version of Red Hat Linux that you purchased.

If you have purchased the Official Red Hat Linux boxed set from Red Hat, Inc. (or one of its distributors), and you
are missing one or more of the items listed, please let us know. Contact information is also available on the
Registration Information card.

How to identify our official boxed set: The bottom of our box has an ISBN number next to one of the bar codes.
That ISBN number should be in this form:

1-58569-x-y

(The x and y will be unique numbers.)

Red Hat partners with companies (international and domestic) so that we can make Red Hat Linux available to you
in the most convenient form. Because of these partnerships, you might find that your Red Hat Linux boxed set may
not have been actually produced by Red Hat.

If your box has a different ISBN number (or none at all), you will need to contact the company that produced your
boxed set. Normally, third-party producers will include their logo and/or contact information on the outside of the
box; an official Red Hat Linux boxed set lists only our name and contact information.
