If you are performing a network installation, the Configure TCP/IP dialog appears; for an explanation of this dialog, go to the Section called Network Configuration, and then return here.
Because the installation program is capable of installing Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation from multiple CD-ROMs, if you intend to support NFS, FTP, or HTTP installations you must copy the RedHat directory from each CD-ROM comprising Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1 onto a disk drive:
For each binary CD-ROM, execute the following commands:
mount /mnt/cdrom
cp -var /mnt/cdrom/RedHat /location/of/disk/space
Where /location/of/disk/space is a directory you create such as /export/7.3/.
umount /mnt/cdrom
Please note that the Release Notes are not included in the RedHat directory. Unless they are specifically copied over, the Release Notes will not be available during your installation.
The Release Notes are also available online from http://www.redhat.com/docs.
Next, make /location/of/disk/space accessible to the installation program (for example, exporting it for NFS installations) by editing the /etc/exports file and adding the line:
/location/of/disk/space *(ro) |
Finally, run the following command to make /location/of/disk/space available as read-only to each system to mount:
/sbin/service nfs reload |
If you are not sure how to do this, refer to the Official Red Hat Linux Customization Guide and the Official Red Hat Linux Reference Guide for more information.
