2.2.6 Using ISO Images of the Installation
Media on the Server
Instead of copying physical media into your server directory manually, you can also
mount the ISO images of the installation media into your installation server and use
them as a repository. To set up an HTTP, NFS or FTP server that uses ISO images in-
stead of media copies, proceed as follows:
1
Download the ISO images and save them to the machine to use as the installation
server.
2
Log in as root.
3
Choose and create an appropriate location for the installation data, as described in
Section 2.2.2, “Setting Up an NFS Repository Manually” (page 48), Section 2.2.3,
“Setting Up an FTP Repository Manually” (page 50), or Section 2.2.4, “Setting Up
an HTTP Repository Manually” (page 52).
4
Create subdirectories for each DVD.
5
To mount and unpack each ISO image to the nal location, issue the following
command:
mount -o loop path_to_iso path_to_repository/product/mediumx
