Hi,
i want to install linux on my new laptop sony r505te which has cdrom on docking station RH7.2 is not leting me to install from cdrom i have dumped my cd in to hard disk but when installing i gave path /dev/hda5 were my cdrom backup is there but is giving error no linux installatio files found.can anyone help me how to install rh7.2 using harddisk
Haven't done it myself with redhat but i know you can, almost all do. You'll wanna find an hd.img file, which will be the install image obviously for hard disks. If you can't find the like on the cd's, the redhat site must have installation instructions on a harddrive install.
The newest kernels do support firewire but it's probably not supported with the installer. If you can find that hard disk install image, you'll be able to build the firewire or IEEE support into the kernel.
Hi,
Thanks for you reply i am wondering were can i download hard drive image.what are the files required for hard rive installation i have copied my cd data into hard drive but its not working.
To install from a hard drive you first need to create a boot floppy using the "boot.img" file from /cdrom/images on the first redhat cd. There are instructions in the readme file and on the net at www.redhat.com
