8. 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 eastcoast in the domain example.com, enter eastcoast.example.com in the NFS

Server field.

Next, enter the name of the exported directory. If you followed the setup described in Section 5,

“Preparing for a Network Installation”, you would enter the directory /export/directory/.

If the NFS server is exporting a mirror of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation tree, enter the

directory which contains the root of the installation tree. You will enter an Installation Key later

on in the process which will determine which subdirectories are used to install from. If

everything was specified properly, a message appears indicating that the installation program

for Red Hat Enterprise Linux is running.
