-command similar to: <TT>dd if=bootnet-20000407.img of=/dev/fd0</TT>).  For installation, you
-need to specify <TT>http://www.lon-capa.org</TT> as your download URL, and <TT>/install/3.1/currentcdsource</TT>

-In the future, LON-CAPA Installation will be distributed on a CD complete with a

+This is the current list of steps to support LON-CAPA installation.  These
+steps have been tested.</p>
+<ol>
+<li>Get LON-CAPA on a CD by
+<ul>
+<li>Requesting a LON-CAPA installation CD (c/o Helen Keefe, 
+helen@lon-capa.org).</li>
+<li>Or, downloading a LON-CAPA installation
+<a href="http://install.lon-capa.org/3.1/currentcdimage">CD image</A> and
+burning a CD.</li>
+<li>(Depending on whether your computer has a bootable CD-ROM, you may
+need to also make a boot floppy.  Download this floppy disk image file: 
+<a href=
+"http://install.lon-capa.org/3.1/currentcdsource/images/boot-20000407.img">
+boot-20000407.img</a>.  (Download the image file; insert a blank floppy disk;
+and type this command: <tt>dd if=boot-20000407.img of=/dev/fd0</tt>).</li>
+</ul></li>
+<li>Install with CD-ROM
+<ul>
+<li>Follow the <A HREF="instructions_with_cd.html">
+CD-ROM installation instructions</a></li>
+</ul></li>
+<li>After installation, restart the computer.  Login as root.  Enter this
+command (you only need to do this after your first reboot):
+<ol>
+<li><tt>sh /usr/sbin/loncapa_configure</tt></li>
+</ol></li>
+</ol>
+<hr />
+<p>
+You can also try to install LON-CAPA on an existing installation of
+RedHat 6.2.  Please see <a
