Hello everyone
I have one machine with neither cdrom driver nor OS, how should I set up
linux on it? If there's one windows os, I may copy the ISO files into and
install from H.D, but I don't have. If I set up one network installing
server, and install from network, I need to run from cdrom firstly. I
remember it's possible to setup one nfs installing server and then boot the
machine from network to set up operating system, does linux do this? I'm
using red hat. Thanks for your help!
Sure it is possible if your nic is PXE capable, a properly tagged
kernel is delivered on the RH install CDs.
You need dhcp + tftp + (nfs|http|ftp) server. I'd rather suggest
using http then nfs as install repository. Though for a single
system I'd install via floppy if possible, which should be easier
then setting up all stuff for this kind of install.
Good luck
