001 The live tale of a network install of RH 7.3 PART1 DAS_BOOTIN_CURSIN downloaded the 5 ISO. redhat was slow, found some mirror that was a lot faster and MD5sums checked out. I had one download fail and may have had a bad md5sum. With DSL I figure 8 hours to get the first two disks. A couple of hours for the docs iso and another 8 hours for the source rpms iso disks. Most won't need souce Don't feel link burning cd's so a network install. Need to boot into install and use network to get to iso files. They are located /hdb4/REDHAT_7.3 on angle. Mounted iso mount -o loop,unhide -t iso9660 -r valhalla-i386-disc1.iso disc1 and disc2.... etc. Found that with an NFS mount I could not see mounted iso info on remote system. tried on square and acute. acute is to be updated with the 7.3... angle is 7.2 enigma, and square is Mandrake release 6.1 (Helios) So mkder DISK_1 and cp -r disc1 DISK_1 .... disc2 etc.... stuff is visible. let's look at the floppie boot images on disc1 I have a problem with angle floppy, so I'm using square with nfs mounted DISK_1 to see images.... on square /ang_hdb4/REDHAT_7.3/DISK_1/disc1/images [ 1827 ] > ls README bootnet.img drvnet.img it/ pcmcia.img TRANS.TBL de/ es/ ja/ pcmciadd.img boot.img drvblock.img fr/ oldcdrom.img pxeboot/ let's create bootnet.img dd if=boofnet.img of=/dev/fd0 set bios on acute to allow for floppy boot. well boot failed. Ok let's try creating a boot image dd if=boot.img of=/dev/fd0 yes I know I should read the instructions hmmm, boot failed again.... ????? ok, was floppy copied correctly. dd if=/dev/fd0 of=copybackofboot.img diff copybackofboot.img boot.img and they are the same. hmmm.... let's reboot with full power on and off. SUCCESS the system has booted from the floppy into redhat install. I think I'll post this and start part 2. tom watson tosiwmee
