The Installation Method screen allows you to choose
whether you want to perform a full installation or an upgrade. If you
choose upgrade, the Partition Information and
Package Selection options will be disabled. They are
not supported for kickstart upgrades.
Also choose the type of kickstart installation to perform from this
screen. You can choose from the following options:
CD-ROM — Choose this option if you wish
to install Red Hat Linux from the Red Hat Linux CD-ROMs.
NFS — Choose this option if you wish to
install Red Hat Linux from an NFS shared directory. Two text entry boxes for
the NFS server and NFS directory will appear. Enter the
fully-qualified domain name or IP address of the NFS server. For the
NFS directory, enter the name of the NFS directory that contains the
RedHat directory. For example, if your NFS
server contains the directory
/mirrors/redhat/i386/RedHat, enter
/mirrors/redhat/i386 for the NFS directory.
FTP — Choose this option if you wish to
install Red Hat Linux from an FTP server. Two text entry boxes for
the FTP server and FTP directory will appear. Enter the
fully-qualified domain name or IP address of the FTP server. For the
FTP directory, enter the name of the FTP directory that contains the
RedHat directory. For example, if your FTP
server contains the directory
/mirrors/redhat/i386/RedHat, enter
/mirrors/redhat/i386 for the FTP directory.
HTTP — Choose this option if you wish
to install Red Hat Linux from an HTTP server. Two text entry boxes for
the HTTP server and HTTP directory will appear. Enter the
fully-qualified domain name or IP address of the HTTP server. For the
HTTP directory, enter the name of the HTTP directory that contains the
RedHat directory. For example, if your HTTP
server contains the directory
/mirrors/redhat/i386/RedHat, enter
/mirrors/redhat/i386 for the HTTP directory.
Hard Drive — Choose this option if you
wish to install Red Hat Linux from a hard drive. Two text entry boxes for
hard drive partition and hard drive directory will appear. Hard
drive installations require the use of ISO (or CD-ROM) images. Be
sure to verify that the ISO images are intact before you start the
installation. To verify them, use an md5sum
program. Enter the hard drive partition that contains the ISO images
(for example, /dev/hda1) in the Hard
Drive Partition text box, and enter the directory that
contains the ISO images in the Hard Drive
Directory text box.
