One reason to dd from cds is that he may have the disks available, but be unable to do a network install.
For instance, I recently installed 7.1 on my laptop. Under Windows, I was able to download the ISO images from my Linux desktop via my USB network card (obviously, it takes awhile via USB :). Then, I just pointed to the directory when I installed. I tried other methods, such as a SCSI CDROM connected via a cardbus SCSI card, but that didn't work. Redhat wanted to install from my builtin (but non-functional) CDROM drive. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Hal Burgiss Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2001 9:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: HOW TO INSTALL REDHAT 7.1 FROM HARD DISK?????????????? Well, after reading those unintelligible instructions, he asked where to get ISOs. My guess is he understood since his only question was 'where'? Recap: 1. Download the 2 ISOs (or copy from CDROM with dd, but why?) Partition needs to have ~1.5G free. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
