4.3. Starting the Installation Program

To start, first make sure that you have all necessary resources for the installation. If you have already read through Chapter 2, Steps to Get You Started, and followed the instructions, you should be ready to start the installation process. When you have verified that you are ready to begin, boot the installation program using the Red Hat Enterprise Linux DVD or CD-ROM #1 or any boot media that you have created.

Note

Occasionally, some hardware components require a driver diskette during the installation. A driver diskette adds support for hardware that is not otherwise supported by the installation program. Refer to Chapter 7, Driver Media for Intel® and AMD Systems for more information.
