If you are performing a network installation, the Configure
TCP/IP dialog appears; for an explanation of this dialog, go
to the section called Network Configuration in Chapter 4 and then return here.
The NFS setup dialog (Figure 5-6) applies only if
you are installing from an NFS server (that is, if you booted
from a network or PCMCIA boot disks and selected in the Installation Method
dialog).
Enter the fully-qualified domain name or IP address of your NFS
server, and the name of the exported directory that contains the Red Hat Linux
installation files or CD. For example, if you are installing from a
host named eastcoast in the domain
redhat.com, enter
eastcoast.redhat.com in the NFS
Server field.
If the NFS server has the Red Hat Linux CD mounted on
/mnt/cdrom, enter /mnt/cdrom
in the Red Hat directory field. If the NFS server
is exporting a mirror of the Red Hat Linux installation tree instead of a CD,
enter the directory which contains the RedHat
directory. For example, if your NFS server contains the directory
/mirrors/redhat/i386/RedHat, enter
/mirrors/redhat/i386.
 | Note |
|---|
| | If you are performing an NFS installation and are copying the files
from the Red Hat Linux CD-ROM, be sure to check the file permissions to make
sure they are set correctly for your installation. If you do not,
the files that you copy will not be executable and you will have to
change the permissions before you are able to install.

Next you will see the Welcome dialog. See Table 5-1 for more information.
The FTP Setup screen (Figure 5-7) applies only if you are installing from an
FTP server (that is, if you selected in
the Installation Method dialog). This dialog
allows you to identify the FTP server from which you are installing
Red Hat Linux.
Enter the fully-qualified domain name or IP address of the FTP site
you are installing from, and the name of the directory on that FTP
site which contains the RedHat installation files
for your architecture. For example, if the FTP site contains the
directory /pub/mirrors/redhat/i386/RedHat, enter
/pub/mirrors/redhat/i386.
If everything has been specified properly, a message box appears
indicating that base/hdlist is being retrieved.
Next you will see the Welcome dialog. See Table 5-1 for more information.
The HTTP Setup screen (Figure 5-8) applies only if you are installing from an
HTTP server (that is, if you selected
in the Installation Method dialog). This dialog
prompts you for information about the HTTP server from which you are
installing Red Hat Linux.
Enter the name or IP address of the HTTP site from which you are
installing Red Hat Linux, and the name of the directory there which contains
the RedHat installation files for your
architecture. For example, if the HTTP site contains the directory
/pub/mirrors/redhat/i386/RedHat, enter
/pub/mirrors/redhat/i386.
If everything has been specified properly, a message box appears
indicating that base/hdlist is being retrieved.
Next you will see the Welcome dialog. See Table 5-1 for more information.
