Chapter 2. Steps to Get You Started
The PCMCIA device driver diskette image file,
pcmciadd.img
, is located in the
images/
directory on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CD #1. Refer to Section 2.5.3
Making an In-
stallation Boot Diskette
or Appendix E
Driver Media
, for more information on making a
diskette.
Note
USB Diskette Drive
— You can also boot the installation program using a boot diskette in a USB
diskette drive (if your system supports booting from a USB diskette drive).
2.5.2. Making an Installation Boot CD-ROM
isolinux
(not available for Itanium systems) is used for booting the Red Hat Enterprise Linux in-
stallation CD. To create your own CD-ROM to boot the installation program, use the following in-
structions:
Copy the
isolinux/
directory from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CD #1 into a temporary directory
(referred to here as
path-to-workspace
) using the following command:
cp -r
path-to-cd
/isolinux/
path-to-workspace
Change directories to the
path-to-workspace
directory you have created:
cd
path-to-workspace
Make sure the files you have copied have appropriate permissions:
chmod u+w isolinux/*
Finally, issue the following command to create the ISO image file:
mkisofs -o file.iso -b isolinux.bin -c boot.cat -no-emul-boot \
-boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -R -J -v -T isolinux/
Note
The above command was split into two lines for printing purposes only. When you execute this com-
mand, be sure to type it as a single command, all on the same line.
Burn the resulting ISO image (named
file.iso
and located in
path-to-workspace
) to a CD-
ROM as you normally would.
2.5.3. Making an Installation Boot Diskette
isolinux
(not available for Itanium systems) is used for booting the Red Hat Enterprise Linux in-
stallation CD. If you have problems booting from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CD, you can write
the
images/bootdisk.img
image to a diskette.
