Hi,

I read the document and it is saying that, we can use http protocol in installation. How would http protocol will work before the installation?

Thanks

Linux network install disks are boot disks that install a distro over a network connection, from a remote mirror. Many of these disks are called 'boot.iso', and can be found in the mirror repositories for a given distro, usually in a folder called 'images'. Http works before the the distribution is installed because the driver is on the boot cd. I don't know why you would need a document to install.

Thank you so much for your reply. If I understand correctly, when it boots it automatically configure the network driver and if there is a ISP connection, it connects automatically? Please let me know. Thanks in advance. I'm new to this.

The following is for Fedora 7 only, but it gives you an idea how to do a installation via http:

Please read 6.3 and 6.6 (6.5 also if you would also consider ftp)
