USER NOTES FOR RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX OPERATING SYSTEMS
======================================================================
* At least 14.1 GB disk space is required to install Red Hat
Enterprise Linux.
* If you use the "Download RPMs from Network" feature, the RPMs are
downloaded to the partition called "/home." The recommended size for
this partition is 3 GB plus the size of the RPMs you want to update.
All downloaded RPMs are installed during the post install phase of
the Red Hat Enterprise Linux installer.
* Entering a double quote character (") in the "Root Password" field
of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation will result in denial of
access to the root "log in."
* Systems Build and Update Utility limits the maximum block device
size on a Linux system to 8 TB.
* A network download of RPMs requires that the target system have a
DHCP IP address and that the system is connected to a network.
* While configuring the hard drive on a system to install a Red Hat
Enterprise Linux operating system, if the hard drive space on your
system is used completely and the range specified in the GUI against
the "swap" partition is the same (for example [1024 -1024] MB), the
scroll bar remains to the left side.

USER NOTES ON PREPARING LINUX OS INSTALLATION MEDIA
======================================================================
Systems Build and Update Utility performs a media check on the Linux
operating system media that is provided during installation. This is
so that you do not copy damaged media that will cause your operating
system installation to fail. This is a default action performed by
SBUU, and you cannot disable it.
It has been observed that certain CD burning software fail to prepare
media to pass the media check.
Dell recommends that you use the optical media obtained from the
operating system vendor to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SUSE
Linux operating systems using Systems Build and Update Utility.
If it is necessary to burn the media using CD burning software,
ensure that you:
