Chapter 3. Installing Red Hat Linux
To "press" a button, position the cursor over the button (using [Tab], for example) and press [Space]
or [Enter]. To select an item from a list of items, move the cursor to the item you wish to select and
press [Enter]. To select an item with a checkbox, move the cursor to the checkbox and press [Space]
to select an item. To deselect, press [Space] a second time.
Pressing [F12] accepts the current values and proceeds to the next dialog; it is equivalent to pressing
the OK button.
Caution
Unless a dialog box is waiting for your input, do not press any keys during the installation process
(doing so may result in unpredictable behavior).
3.2.2. Displaying Online Help
Once the installation program is loaded into memory, you can obtain information about the installation
process and options by pressing [F1] through [F6]. For example, press [F2] to see general information
about the online help screens.
3.3. Starting the Installation Program
To start the installation, you must first boot the installation program. Please make sure you have all the
resources you will need for the installation. If you have already read through Chapter 1, and followed
the instructions, you should be ready to begin.
Note
Occasionally, some hardware components require a driver diskette during the installation. A driver
diskette adds support for hardware that is not otherwise supported by the installation program. Refer
to Appendix F for more information.
3.3.1. Booting the Installation Program
You can boot the Red Hat Linux installation program using any one of the following media (depending
upon what your system can support):
Bootable CD ROM   Your machine supports a bootable CD ROM drive and you want to perform
a local CD ROM installation.
Local boot diskette   Your machine will not support a bootable CD ROM and you want to install
from a local CD ROM or a hard drive.
Network boot diskette   Use a network boot diskette to install via NFS, FTP, and HTTP.
PCMCIA boot diskettes   Use PCMCIA boot diskettes when you need PCMCIA support, but your
machine does not support booting from the CD ROM drive or if you need PCMCIA support in
order to make use of the CD ROM drive on your system. The PCMCIA boot diskettes can be used
for all installation methods (CD ROM, hard drive, NFS, FTP, and HTTP).
To create a boot diskette, refer to Section 1.4.2.
