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!
Debian allows you to boot from a floppy disk, insert a second floppy
with a minimal install system, and download the rest from the net. It
assumes you have a not-too-obscure hard disk controller and network
interface (though additional floppies contain drivers for the more
obscure hardware).
I've not used RedHat since 7.2 but it used to have something similar.
If the machine has no floppy drive you need someone more knowledgeable
than me!
Good luck,
CC
