My server machine ip address is 192.168.0.1 and i set dhcp range 192.168.0.10 to 192.168.0.25. my dvd copy in /var/ftp/swami directory. when client machine is booting then i give linux repo=ftp://192.168.0.1/swami and press enter after i choose language and keyboard. after this we watch waiting eth0 and give error unable to retrieve ftp://192.168.0.1/swami/images/install.img. please tell what can i do.

Look at the logs on your ftp server and see if there's anything relevant in there.

Most obvious thing would be to contact Red Hat support...you're using 6.1, so when you purchase that you get support. Aside from checking your FTP logs, did you read the guide on the RHEL website?

You also don't say anything about your hardware...UEFI and/or 32 bit systems may have problems
