What he means is that only one of your 3 servers contains the installation files, and installation is done via that machine (usually with NFS). Open a console and type "man exports" (sans quotes) for more details.

Here is the portion of my /etc/exports file that I use to enable network install:

/var/ftp/pub/ *(async,all_squash)
/var/ftp/ 192.168.0.1(rw,async) \
/var/mandriva/ *(rw,no_root_squash,async)
/var/mandriva/ 192.168.0.1(rw,no_root_squash,async) \

FTP and mandriva are separate drives that are mounted on /var. /var/mandriva contains all of the installation files from the installation disks and are located in subfolders "main", "contrib", "updates", etc.

Go to http://www.google.com/linux and search for "Network Install".

HTH,
Michael

He already has RH installed on 3 computers but only has ONE RH Network account, he wants to know if he can use all 3 computers with that one account.

Contact Red Hat for subscription and support. From my knowledge, you need 3 licenses if you want support for all 3 servers. Closing this thread, no one here should or can give you accurate information unless they work for Red Hat but then again, we can't be liable for possibly giving you the wrong information. So go call Red Hat or contact them.
