[wplug] Desperate plea for help -- install on IBM X31 ThinkPad

Hey folks,

Well, it has finally happened. After many moons of lurking and some 
managing of pizza ordering at install fests I'm now faced with an 
install of my own. (-:

First, if any of you are at CMU at the moment and happen to have a Red 
Hat install CD set of 9.0 I'd be most grateful.

Failing that, what do I download to do a vanilla install on the 
notebook and is there something in XP that will allow me to make a full 
restore disk of the Win OS before I wipe it out to install Linux? I 
work for a faculty member who wants this done and I think I should have 
the *evil* OS backed up somewhere "just in case".

This is rather urgent (I need to complete all of this in the next 24 
hours!!!) so I'll understand if I don't get a lot of feedback in time 
from the list to complete this fun task.

Cheers,
Jenn Landefeld
