first of all in the ftp server all contents of all the cds should be available in one folder. We achieve this by imaging the cds into the hdd, then loop mounting and then creating sym links to folders and files inside the CD. how we do it -------------- mkdir /home/cdbackup dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/cdbackup/redhat-cd1.iso bs=1M dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/cdbackup/redhat-cd2.iso bs=1M mkdir /home/cdbackup/cd1 mkdir /home/cdbackup/cd2 mkdir /var/ftp/pub/RedHat mkdir /var/ftp/pub/RedHat/RPMS mount -t iso9660 -o loop=/dev/loop0 /home/cdbackup/redhat-cd1.iso /home/cdbackup/cd1 mount -t iso9660 -o loop=/dev/loop1 /home/cdbackup/redhat-cd2.iso /home/cdbackup/cd2 ln -s /home/cdbackup/cd1/RedHat/base /var/ftp/pub/RedHat/base cd /home/cdbackup/cd1/RedHat/RPMS for i in *.rpm;do ln -s `pwd`/$i /var/ftp/pub/RedHat/RPMS/$i; done cd /home/cdbackup/cd2/RedHat/RPMS for i in *.rpm;do ln -s `pwd`/$i /var/ftp/pub/RedHat/RPMS/$i; done ---------------- Now start the ftp service ---------------- for doing the ftp install, the bootnet.img and drivers.img is needed that is two floppies, and when system prompts for driver disc, provide the one with drivers image. RealTek will load automatically from the second disk. the ftp install script looks for /RedHat/base and /RedHat/RPMS for the installation rpms with respect to the ftp folder specified. In our office we find this to be a faster way when compared with the install from CD. jtm ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
