DIRECTORY ORGANIZATION
Red Hat Linux is delivered on two CDROMs (disc 1 and disc 2). Disc 1 can
be directly booted into the installation on most modern PCs, and contains
the following directory structure:
/mnt/redhat
|----> RedHat
| |----> RPMS -- binary packages
| `----> base -- information on this release of Red Hat
| Linux used by the installation process
|----> images -- boot image
|----> COPYING -- copyright information
|----> README -- this file
`----> RPM-GPG-KEY -- GPG signature for packages from Red Hat
The directory layout of disc 2 is as follows:
/mnt/redhat
|----> RedHat
| `----> RPMS -- additional binary packages
|----> SRPMS -- source packages (more are on the dedicated
| SRPMS CD)
|----> preview -- alpha and beta level packages (source
| and binary) for the adventurous user (may
| not be present in every release)
|----> COPYING -- copyright information
|----> README -- this file
`----> RPM-GPG-KEY -- GPG signature for packages from Red Hat
If you are setting up an image for NFS, FTP, or HTTP installations, you
need to get everything from the RedHat directory from both CDs. On Linux
and Unix, the following process will properly set up the /target/directory
on your server for installing Red Hat.
1) Insert disc 1
2) mount /mnt/cdrom
3) cp -a /mnt/cdrom/RedHat /target/directory
4) umount /mnt/cdrom
5) Replace disc 1 with disc 2
6) mount /mnt/cdrom
7) cp -a /mnt/cdrom/RedHat /target/directory
8) umount /mnt/cdrom
============================================================================
INSTALLING
If you did not receive the necessary LS-120 disk with this product, the
image for this disk is in the images directory. Use 'dd' under any
Linux-like system to transfer the image to a physical LS-120 disk. Once the
disk has been made, insert it and boot your machine.
If you have a CDROM and it is properly configured, you can boot the Red Hat
Linux CDROM directly without using any boot disk. After booting, you'll be
able to install your system from the CDROM. Note that booting from a CDROM
is equivalent to booting the boot.img file.
