Chapter 3. Installing Red Hat Linux

This method will not work if run in a DOS window   the
autoboot.bat
file must be executed with
DOS as the only operating system. In other words, Windows cannot be running.
If your computer cannot boot directly from CD ROM (and you cannot use a DOS based
auto 
boot.bat
), you will have to use a boot diskette to start the installation.
3.4. Selecting an Installation Method
What type of installation method do you wish to use? The following installation methods are available:
CD ROM
If you have a CD ROM drive and the Red Hat Linux CD ROMs, you can use this method. You
will need a boot diskette or a bootable CD ROM. PCMCIA boot and driver diskettes may also
be used. Refer to Section 3.5, for CD ROM installation instructions.
Hard Drive
If you have copied the Red Hat Linux ISO images to a local hard drive, you can use this method.
You will need a boot diskette. PCMCIA boot and driver diskettes may also be used. Refer to
Section 3.6, for hard drive installation instructions.
NFS Image
If you are installing from an NFS server using ISO images or a mirror image of Red Hat Linux,
you can use this method. You will need a network boot diskette. PCMCIA boot and driver
diskettes may also be used. Refer to Section 3.8, for network installation instructions. Please
note that NFS installations may also be performed in GUI mode.
FTP
If you are installing directly from an FTP server, use this method. You will need a network boot
diskette. PCMCIA boot and driver diskettes may also be used. Refer to Section 3.9, for FTP
installation instructions.
HTTP
If you are installing directly from an HTTP (Web) server, use this method. You will need a
network boot diskette. PCMCIA boot and driver diskettes may also be used. Refer to Section
3.10, for HTTP installation instructions.
3.5. Installing from CD ROM
Note
If you already have another operating system installed and want to create a dual boot system so that
you can use both Red Hat Linux and the other operating system, read Appendix G for details.
