8.2. Installation Method The Installation Method screen allows you to choose
whether to perform a new 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
to install Red Hat Linux from the Red Hat Linux CD-ROMs.
NFS — Choose this option 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 of the installation tree.
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
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. If
the FTP server requires a username and password, specify them as
well.
HTTP — Choose this option
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 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 as well as the linux mediacheck boot
option as discussed in the Red Hat Linux Installation Guide. Enter the
hard drive partition that contains the ISO images (for example,
/dev/hda1) in the Hard Drive
Partition text box. Enter the directory that contains the
ISO images in the Hard Drive Directory text
box.
