7.2
To install RedHat Linux 7.2 from CD-ROM, set up the board initially using the steps outlined in
Sections 3.1 and 3.2 above, ensuring that all the necessary drives are connected. Then follow
the procedure below.
1) Follow the standard RedHat installation instructions, but at the screen following the
selection of monitor type, ensure that a “Text” login type is selected. This prevents the
system from automatically starting the X11 window software.
2) Proceed through the remaining installation sequence. The installer will not allow
configuration of the network adapters at this stage.
3) After the installation is complete and the board has been rebooted, login as the super user
(login name
root
).
4) At the command prompt type
netconfig
, and fill in the forms for network parameters
appropriately for the network being used. When this is complete, reboot the operating
system to enable the new settings.
5) For full control of the system configuration use the
linuxconf
utility. This is not installed
by the RedHat installer but can be manually installed from the RedHat CD.
NOTE
It is not essential to install the
linuxconf
utility.
To install the
linuxconf
utility, insert CD 2 of 2 into the CD-ROM drive and enter the
following commands:
mount /dev/cdrom
cd /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS
rpm -i linuxconf-1*
When the
linuxconf
installation is complete, the CD can be unmounted and removed
from the drive:
umount /mnt/cdrom
Type
linuxconf
and follow the on screen forms and help for system configuration.
