4.6. Installing over a Network
If you are performing a network installation, the
Configure TCP/IP
dialog appears; for an explanation
of this dialog, go to Section 3.16, and then return here.
4.6.1. Setting Up the Server
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.
4.6.2. NFS Setup
The NFS dialog (Figure 4-4) applies only if you are installing from an NFS server (if you booted from
a network or PCMCIA boot disks and selected
NFS Image
in the
Installation Method
dialog).
Figure 4-4. NFS Setup Dialog
Enter the fully-qualified domain name or IP address of your NFS server. For example, if you are in-
stalling from a host named
eastcoast
in the domain
redhat.com
, enter
eastcoast.redhat.com
in the
NFS Server
field.
Next, enter the name of the exported directory. If you followed the setup described in Section 4.6, you
would enter the directory
/location/of/disk/space/
which contains the
RedHat
directory.
If the NFS server is exporting a mirror of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES installation tree,
enter the directory which contains the
RedHat
directory. (If you do not know this directory
path, ask your system administrator.) For example, if your NFS server contains the directory
/mirrors/redhat/i386/RedHat
, enter
/mirrors/redhat/i386
.
Next you will see the Welcome dialog. See Table 4-1, for more information.
