Disc 1 can be directly booted into the installation on most modern PCs, and contains the following directory structure: /mnt/redhat |----> RedHat | |----> RPMS -- binary packages | `----> base -- information on this release of Red Hat | Linux used by the installation process |----> images -- boot image |----> COPYING -- copyright information |----> README -- this file `----> RPM-GPG-KEY -- GPG signature for packages from Red Hat The directory layout of disc 2 is as follows: /mnt/redhat |----> RedHat | `----> RPMS -- additional binary packages |----> SRPMS -- source packages (more are on the dedicated | SRPMS CD) |----> preview -- alpha and beta level packages (source | and binary) for the adventurous user (may | not be present in every release) |----> COPYING -- copyright information |----> README -- this file `----> RPM-GPG-KEY -- GPG signature for packages from Red Hat If you are setting up an image for NFS, FTP, or HTTP installations, you need to get everything from the RedHat directory from both CDs. On Linux and Unix, the following process will properly set up the /target/directory on your server for installing Red Hat. 1) Insert disc 1 2) mount /mnt/cdrom 3) cp -a /mnt/cdrom/RedHat /target/directory 4) umount /mnt/cdrom 5) Replace disc 1 with disc 2 6) mount /mnt/cdrom 7) cp -a /mnt/cdrom/RedHat /target/directory 8) umount /mnt/cdrom ============================================================================ INSTALLING If you did not receive the necessary LS-120 disk with this product, the image for this disk is in the images directory. Use 'dd' under any Linux-like system to transfer the image to a physical LS-120 disk. Once the disk has been made, insert it and boot your machine. If you have a CDROM and it is properly configured, you can boot the Red Hat Linux CDROM directly without using any boot disk. After booting, you'll be able to install your system from the CDROM. Note that booting from a CDROM is equivalent to booting the boot.img file. ============================================================================ GETTING HELP For those that have web access, see http://www.redhat.com.
