1) Take any laptop/PC with apache server running on a wired network. Note the ip address. 2) Make a folder appropriately named (fedora9/opensuse11 etc) in the web root (/var/www/html for fedora or /srv/www/htdocs for opensuse) 3)Take the *.iso file for the disribution. Mount it to the newly created folder using this command : *mount* file.iso /var/www/html/fedora9 -t iso9660 -o loop 4)Now you have the installation server ready. Now get a Fedora/openSUSE DVD from somewhere. 5) Pop it in. Let the installer start. In the Installation Source option select http . You may find some errors like "No Updates Found" etc... but dont worry. Just go ahead. 6) In the http server put the IP address of the server on the lan. In the directory, put /fedora9 . Thats all. rest is all normal installation stuff.
You need one working DVD (it should boot atleast) a switch, and lan wires. * * -- BE INTELLIGENT, USE LINUX
