Installer Caveats</A> page before you begin.

<P>
The SGI XFS Filesystem 0.9 Pre-Release for Red Hat 7.0 Installer is
available as an 
<A HREF="ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/PreRelease-0.9/iso">ISO
image</A>, from which you can create a bootable 
installer CD-ROM.  This CD-ROM, together
with the original Red Hat 7.0 installation media, will allow you to
install an XFS-capable system based on Red Hat 7.0.
</P>

<P>
The SGI installer is a modified version of the standard Red Hat installer,
so answers to most questions about the install can be found in
<A HREF="http://www.redhat.com/support/manuals/RHL-7-Manual/install-guide/">
the Red Hat 7.0 Installation Guide</A>.
</P>

<P>
In general, you can either boot directly from the installer, or create a
boot floppy from the appropriate disk image in the <tt>images/</tt> directory
on the CD.  During the install, you should select the "Custom" install method,
and when you get to the filesystem formatting stage, you can select XFS for
any of the partitions you have created.
