Installation guide

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.
6. Installing via FTP
The FTP dialog applies only if you are installing from an FTP server (if you selected FTP in the
Installation Method dialog). This dialog allows you to identify the FTP server from which you
are installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Figure 17.4. FTP Setup Dialog
Enter the name or IP address of the FTP site you are installing from, and the name of the direct-
ory containing the variant/ directory for your architecture. For example, if the FTP site contains
the directory /mirrors/redhat/arch/variant;/, enter /mirrors/redhat/arch/ (where arch is re-
placed with the architecture type of your system, such as i386, ia64, ppc, or s390x, and variant
is the variant that you are installing, such as Client, Server, Workstation, etc.). If everything was
specified properly, a message box appears indicating that files are being retrieved from the
server.
Next, the Welcome dialog appears.
Tip
You can save disk space by using the ISO images you have already copied to the
server. To accomplish this, install Red Hat Enterprise Linux using ISO images
