3.4.1 Installing from CD-ROM
To install Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS from a CD-ROM, choose the
loader screen and select
CD-ROM drive (if you did not boot from the CD-ROM). Once the CD is in the CD-ROM drive, select
, and press
OK
The installation program will then probe your system and attempt to identify your CD-ROM drive. It
will start by looking for an IDE (also known as an ATAPI) CD-ROM drive. If found, you will continue
to the next stage of the installation process (see Section 3.5, Language Selection).
To abort the installation process at this time, reboot your machine and then
eject the boot diskette or CD-ROM. You can safely cancel the installation at
any point before the
Install for more information.
If a CD-ROM drive is not detected, you will be asked what type of CD-ROM drive you have. Choose
from the following types:
SCSI
Select this if your CD-ROM drive is attached to a supported SCSI adapter; the installation pro-
gram will then ask you to choose a SCSI driver. Choose the driver that most closely resembles
your adapter. You may specify options for the driver if necessary; however, most drivers will
detect your SCSI adapter automatically.
Other
If your CD-ROM drive is neither an IDE nor a SCSI, it is an other. Sound cards with proprietary
CD-ROM interfaces are good examples of this type of CD-ROM. The installation program will
display a list of drivers for supported CD-ROM drives — choose a driver and, if necessary,
specify any driver options.
A partial list of optional parameters for CD-ROM drives can be found in
the Official Red Hat Linux Reference Guide, in the General Parameters and
Modules appendix.
