4.2.6 Using ISO Images of the Installation
Media on the Server
Instead of copying physical media into your server directory manually, you can also
mount the ISO images of the installation media into your installation server and use
them as installation source. To set up an HTTP, NFS or FTP server that uses ISO images
instead of media copies, proceed as follows:
1 Download the ISO images and save them to the machine to use as the installation
server.
2 Log in as root.
3 Choose and create an appropriate location for the installation data, as described
in
Section 4.2.2, "Setting Up an NFS Installation Source Manually"
Section 4.2.3, "Setting Up an FTP Installation Source Manually"
Section 4.2.4, "Setting Up an HTTP Installation Source Manually"
4 Create subdirectories for each CD or DVD.
5 To mount and unpack each ISO image to the final location, issue the following
command:
mount -o loop path_to_iso path_to_instsource/product/mediumx
Replace path_to_iso with the path to your local copy of the ISO image,
path_to_instsource with the source directory of your server, product
with the product name, and mediumx with the type (CD or DVD) and number
of media you are using.
6 Repeat the previous step to mount all ISO images needed for your product.
7 Start your installation server as usual, as described in
