12.9. Inst alling via NFS
The NFS dialog applies only if you are installing from an NFS server (if you selected NFS Imag e 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 11.5,
“ Preparing for a Network Installation” , you would enter the directory /export/directory/ which
contains the variant/ 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.
