4.5. Installing from a Hard Drive
Note
Hard drive installations only work from ext2, ext3, or FAT filesystems. If you have a filesystem other
than those listed here, such as reiserfs, you will not be able to perform a hard drive installation.
Hard drive installations require the use of the ISO (or CD-ROM) images rather than copying an entire
installation tree. After placing the required ISO images (the binary Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES
CD-ROMs) in a directory, choose to install from the hard drive. You will then point the installation
program at that directory to perform the installation.
Verifying that the ISO images are intact before you attempt an installation will help to avoid problems
that are often encountered during a hard drive installation. 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 server as the ISO
images.
The
Select Partition screen (Figure 4-3) applies only if you are installing from a disk partition (that
is, if you 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 ES.
Enter the device name of the partition containing the Red Hat ISO images. There is also a field labeled
Directory holding images . If the ISO images are not in the root directory of that partition, enter the
path to the ISO images (for example, if the ISO images are in
/test/new/RedHat
, you would enter
/test/new
).
After you have identified the disk partition, you will next see the
Welcome
dialog. See Table 4-1, for
more information.
