4. Check the files using md5sum -c rh-7.3-en-i386.md5.
If any of the files are corrupt, delete those and download again. The output should be
similar to that shown in Example 3-2 on page 36.
5. Check that other has read and execute permissions on /var/iso/RedHat and has read
permission on all the iso files.
6. Edit /etc/export and add /var/iso/RedHat *(ro) to the end of the file.
7. Make NFS reload the export file using service nfs reload.
3.3.2 Setting up the FTP install server
A desktop system with enough free hard drive space was selected to be the install server. We
transformed it into the install server by performing these steps.
1. Install the anonftp rpm package.
2. Create the /var/iso directory.
3. Download Red Hat Linux 7.3 install iso images 1 through 3 and the md5 file.
– rh-7.3-en-i386-cd1.iso
– rh-7.3-en-i386-cd2.iso
– rh-7.3-en-i386-cd3.iso
– rh-7.3-en-i386.md5

/var/ftp/pub.
Example 3-4 Mounting iso images
mount -o loop,ro -t iso9660 /var/iso/rh-7.3-en-i386-cd1.iso /var/ftp/pub/cd1
mount -o loop,ro -t iso9660 /var/iso/rh-7.3-en-i386-cd2.iso /var/ftp/pub/cd2
mount -o loop,ro -t iso9660 /var/iso/rh-7.3-en-i386-cd3.iso /var/ftp/pub/cd3
6. Mount the three install iso images to the cd directories.
