Re: [CentOS] Network Install Procedure Question
Hi there -- That was it...thanks for the help. The netinstall worked without problems. -Original Message- From: centos-boun...@centos.org [mailto:centos-boun...@centos.org] On Behalf Of Tim Shubitz Sent: Wednesday, May 13, 2009 5:00 PM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: Re: [CentOS] Network Install Procedure Question On May 13, 2009, at 3:48 PM, Kaplan, Andrew H. wrote: Hi there -- Yes, I read that section.

I think I see what you're asking. If you start out at http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/5.3/isos/ i386/ and choose a mirror (say, http://mirrors.bluehost.com/centos/5.3/isos/i386/) you'll be presented with a list of the ISOs for CentOS. What the netinstall is looking for is a few directories back and down from this location. By clicking on Parent Directory two times and drilling down into os/ i386, THIS is directory path that you want to enter into the netinstall part of the CentOS installer. From the example mirror above, the first line would be... mirrors.bluehost.com and the second line would be... centos/5.3os/i386 The installer goes into the images directory and downloads stage2.img to continue with the net-based installation.
