hello, I am a newbie to Linux, and having a major problem installing Redhat 9. When I go to install from http I type in this:

Site: ftp.redhat.com
directory: pub/redhat/linux/9/en/iso/i386/

and I hit OK.

Now, it says it cannot retrieve http://ftp.redhat.com//pub/redhat/linux/9/en/iso/i386/Redhat/base/netstg2.img

then it says it cannot get the image to install.

Why would it tell me that, and also, why does Linux put two '//' between .com and pub/ if I had not even typed them to begin with? I really do want to get rid of windoze xp...

Thats because http and ftp are two different protocals. try using the ftp install instead of the http.
