- If you are mirroring to a partition or an NFS volume, you'll need to
- get everything under RedHat, as well as the disk images from images
- that you need for your system.
-
- ============================================================================
- INSTALLING
-
- There are three separate boot images for booting your system; you will
- need one of them to boot your system into the Red Hat installation and
- upgrade process. For CDROM and hard drive installs, use the boot.img
- file (most Red Hat boxed sets include this floppy already; just boot
- it!). NFS, ftp, and http installations requires the bootnet.img floppy,
- which is available in the images directory. Installs through PCMCIA adapters
- (such as for PCMCIA CDROM or networking cards) need the pcmcia.img floppy.
-
- If you did not receive the necessary floppy disks with this product, the
- images for these disks are in the images directory. Either the rawrite
- program in the dosutils directory or 'dd' under any Unix like system can
- be used to transfer the image to physical floppies. Once the diskette
- has been made, insert the boot disk and boot your machine.
-
- Many computers can now automatically boot from CDROMs. If you have one and
- it is properly configured, you can boot the Red Hat Linux CDROM directly
- without using any floppy disks. After booting, you'll be able to install
- your system from the CDROM.
