Installation Cross-Reference Table - Red Hat LINUX 7.2 - S-390 Manual

Section 3.4:Installation Cross-reference Table
While the text mode installation program is run by default for most installa-
tions, NFS installations will run the graphical installation program by default
if you have logged into the VM from an X11 terminal.
If your DNS or hostnames are not set correctly, or the VM is not allowed to
open applications on your display, the installation program will fail. You can
prevent this by setting a correct DISPLAY variable (execute the command
export DISPLAY=workstationname:0.0 at the VM prompt) and
allowing the VM to connect (using the command xhost +vmname on your
local workstation).
If you have a slow connection or prefer a text installation, unset the DISPLAY
variable by executing the command unset DISPLAY at the VM prompt.
If the graphical installation via NFS does not automatically begin for you,
be sure to check what the DISPLAY= variable is set to. To begin the
graphical installation program once you have logged into the VM, you must
issue the command export DISPLAY= workstationname :0.0, where
workstationname is the name of your workstation. You must also make sure
the workstation you are working on will allow the display of remote windows
by setting xhost +VMname.
Additionally, it you set a DISPLAY variable on your local workstation before
connecting to the VM (which is always the case when you connect using an
xterm inside of an X Window System session), you do not need to do a
xhost +VMname. The ssh application will do all the work for you.

3.4 Installation Cross-reference Table

Most text mode installation screens can be cross-referenced with their GUI screen counterparts. This
table lists the installation screens in order and where you can go to get the necessary information for
each part of the installation.
For those screens which do not have adequate GUI counterparts, installation-related instructions and
screenshots will be provided in this chapter.
