:confused: "network cdrom"?? :confused:
The Red Hat 9.0 Installation Guide covers all sorts of installation. |
hi fancypiper and all, sorry for making u confused
i got 2 machines, 1 linux box has cdrom drive and i install that ok. for another one only has floppy drive but no cdrom drive and these 2 machines are connecting to network. so what should i do? :newbie: |
The next step would be to read over Selecting an Installation Method, decide on what fits your situation and go from there.

hi again, i already go through the redhat installation guide. anyway in my case becoz i have to boot up the machine from the floppy disk (coz i don't have cdrom drive), i create 3 floppy disks from those image fles in installation cd:
- bootdisk.img - drvblock.img - drvnet.img (no bootnet.img in Redhat 9 CD!!!!) i boot up it using the floppy with bootdisk.img i see the graphic screen and in the boot prompt i type "boot text" it shows: loading vmlinuz............. loading initrd.img.......... boot failed: please change disks and press a key to continue i check the cdrom images directory the initrd.img size is larger than 1 floppy. and it can't fit into the floppy disk. what should i do the next? please help... |
I thnk that the drvnet.img is the network boot image.
|
im only a noob, but what i did, was take out the cdrom from 1 computer, and put it in the other, after the installaion, put the drive back where it lives.
