Chapter 3. Installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 15
HTTP
If you are installing directly from an HTTP (Web) server, use this method. You will need a
network boot disk. PCMCIA boot and driver disks may also be used. Refer to Chapter 4, for
HTTP installation instructions.
3.4. Beginning the Installation
If you are planning to install via CD-ROM using the graphical interface, please continue reading.
If you would rather perform a text mode installation, reboot your system and at the
boot:
prompt,
type
text
. Refer to Chapter 4, for more information.
3.4.1. Installing from CD-ROM
To install Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES from a CD-ROM, choose the
CD-ROM
option from the boot
loader screen and select OK . When prompted, insert the Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES CD into your
CD-ROM drive (if you did not boot from the CD-ROM). Once the CD is in the CD-ROM drive, select
OK , and press [Enter].
The installation program will then probe your system and attempt to identify your CD-ROM drive. It
will start by looking for an IDE (also known as an ATAPI) CD-ROM drive. If found, it will continue
to the next stage of the installation process (see Section 3.5).
Note
To abort the installation process at this time, reboot your machine and then eject the boot diskette or
CD-ROM. You can safely cancel the installation at any point before the About to Install screen. See
Section 3.23, for more information.
If a CD-ROM drive is not detected, you will be asked what type of CD-ROM drive you have. Choose
from the following types:
SCSI
Select this if your CD-ROM drive is attached to a supported SCSI adapter; the installation
program will then ask you to choose a SCSI driver. Choose the driver that most closely resembles
your adapter. You may specify options for the driver if necessary; however, most drivers will
detect your SCSI adapter automatically.
Other
If your CD-ROM drive is neither an IDE nor a SCSI, it is an "other." Sound cards with propri-
etary CD-ROM interfaces are good examples of CD-ROMs in the Other category. The installa-
tion program will display a list of drivers for supported CD-ROM drives — choose a driver and,
if necessary, specify any driver options.
Tip
A partial list of optional parameters for CD-ROM drives can be found in the Official Red Hat Linux
Reference Guide , in the General Parameters and Modules appendix.
