1.7. Preparing for a Hard Drive Installation
Hard drive installations require a working Linux system installed and the use of ISO (or CD-ROM)
images rather than the entire installation tree.
Hard drive installations only work from ext2 or ext3 file systems.
•
Set of CD-ROMs — Create CD-ROM ISO image files from each installation CD-ROMs. For each
CD-ROM, execute the following command on a Linux system:
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/tmp/
file-name
.iso
•
ISO images — transfer these images to the system to be installed.
Verifying that ISO images are intact before you attempt an installation, helps to avoid problems.
To verify the ISO images are intact prior to performing an installation, use an
md5sum
program
(many
md5sum
programs are available for various operating systems). An
md5sum
program should
be available on the same Linux machine as the ISO images.
