Installing Via Nfs - Red Hat ENTERPRISE LINUX 4 - INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR IBM S-390 AND IBM ESERVER ZSERIES Installation Manual

Chapter 2. Installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux

4.2. Installing via NFS

The NFS dialog applies only if you are installing from an NFS server (if you selected NFS Image
in the Installation Method dialog).
Enter the domain name or IP address of your NFS server. For example, if you are installing from
a host named in the domain , enter in the
eastcoast example.com eastcoast.example.com
NFS Server field.
Next, enter the name of the exported directory. If you followed the setup described in Section 3,
"Preparing for a Network Installation", you would enter the directory
which contains the directory.
/location/of/disk/space/ RedHat/
If the NFS server is exporting a mirror of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation tree, enter the
directory which contains the directory. (If you do not know this directory path, ask your
RedHat/
system administrator.) For example, if the NFS site contains the directory
, enter (where is replaced with
/mirrors/redhat/arch/RedHat/ /mirrors/redhat/arch/ arch
the architecture type of your system, such as i386, ia64, ppc, or s390). If everything was
specified properly, a message appears indicating that the installation program for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux is running.
Figure 2.3. NFS Setup Dialog
If the NFS server is exporting the ISO images of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CD-ROMs, enter
the directory which contains the ISO images.
Next, the Welcome dialog appears.
