I guess that would be a good indicator!
It's the file structure that is killing me... All these different 
sub-directories at the root level (These make sense).  Then there appears to 
be similar sub-directories lower down.  This is a bit confusing.
Also I think I realized one part that was loosing me.  When I installed 
RedHat before I was expecting "something" to happen.  Then again I was 
sitting at the local console.  I imagine things would have been different if
