> Subject: Re: [LI] Installing linux on network HI whoever posted this message Yes it is definitly possible to install linux over the network .. I installed Suse 6.2 the same way .. Infact u can install ur linux either via NFS or FTP .. Choose which ever is convinient for u .. I chose to go via the NFS way for i had a unix server waiting to be used ..But that is not essential .. U can install a ftp server on ur Win 95 machine and do a FTP install .I am sure Red Hat will offer u the same functionalities . I will detail the SuSE process , map it to Red Hat linux 1. Make the boot and root floppies using the provided tools and readme files 2. Copy a file called modules on to a floppy using rawrite utility ( this is needed to load modules for ur network card and make it functional) 3. Put the linux cd on to a server and decide whether u want to do a NFS install or a FTP one.. 4. Start the installation by booting from the boot floppy .. After some time it will prompt u for a the installation medium .. Select the installation method u chose (NFS or FTP) .. On the basis of ur choice u will be required to give some more details such as ur server , login , passwd etc .. Its also useful to have ur server ip address and ur IP address handy when starting such a installation REally installing thru a network is really cool (if not for anything else u learn how to do a NFS mount or setup FTP as in my case) Wish u all the best of luck Bye Anand -------------------------------------------------------------------- The Linux India Mailing List Archives are now available.
