Installing from a Hard Drive (DASD)
193
Once you have logged into the Linux image the
loader
will start the installation program.
When the
loader
starts, several screens appear for selecting the installation method.
17.4. Installing from a Hard Drive (DASD)
The
Select Partition
screen applies only if you are installing from a disk partition (that is, if you used
the
askmethod
boot options and selected
Hard Drive
in the
Installation Method
dialog). This dialog
allows you to name the disk partition and directory from which you are installing Red Hat Enterprise
Linux. If you used the
repo=hd
boot option, you already specified a partition.
Enter the device name of the partition containing the Red Hat Enterprise Linux ISO images. This
partition must be formatted with a ext2 or vfat filesystem, and cannot be a logical volume. There is also
a field labeled
Directory holding images
.
If the ISO images are in the root (top-level) directory of a partition, enter a
/
. If the ISO images are
located in a subdirectory of a mounted partition, enter the name of the directory holding the ISO
images within that partition. For example, if the partition on which the ISO images is normally mounted
as
/home/
, and the images are in
/home/new/
, you would enter
/new/
.
After you have identified the disk partition, the
Welcome
dialog appears.
17.5. Installing via NFS
The NFS dialog applies only if you are installing from an NFS server (if you selected
NFS Image
in the
Installation Method
dialog).
Enter the domain name or IP address of your NFS server. For example, if you are installing from a
host named
eastcoast
in the domain
example.com
, enter
eastcoast.example.com
in the
NFS
Server
field.
Next, enter the name of the exported directory. If you followed the setup described in
Section 16.4,
“Preparing for a Network Installation”
, you would enter the directory
/export/directory/
.
If the NFS server is exporting a mirror of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation tree, enter the
directory which contains the root of the installation tree. You will enter an Installation Key later on in the
process which will determine which subdirectories are used to install from. If everything was specified
properly, a message appears indicating that the installation program for Red Hat Enterprise Linux is
running.
