002 The live tale of a network install of RH 7.3 PART2 DAS_PHONEM_HOME I decided to add numbers to the step because I may want to comment on dependentcies created by decision I mad previously. 2.1 after some basic questions install asks where is the iso image of the install. F2 option give more options and another F2 for option do you have a driver disk OK lets try the bootnet.img. Well that fails, OK let's go back with a power-boot of bootnet.img. If this fails I'll verify bootnet.img is OK and if it is then damn I have to read the install stuff. AHA boot on bootnet.img is a success. 2.3 I'm given a choice of graphical and text install. This system has old matrox melenium cards and I'm going to gamble that X will come up OK. AM I shooting myself in the foot. hmmmm. NOTE: at the early part of an install the graphical interface works fine but then the actual install of X somehow gets messed up and most would be in a catch-22 because boot becomes graphical and X is hosed. LOL well we shall see. 2.4 I was asked about network stuff for the system having REDHAT installed. This is acute 192.168.1.2 and gateway is 192.168.1.1 and this was also given as the name server. 2.5 I was asked about IP for system with iso image and the directory of the image 192.168.1.100 is angle and the directory is /hdb4/REDHAT_7.3/DISK_1 2.6 The install seemed to verify this and is continuing. 2.7 COOL REALLY COOL. The original boot on this system was on hda the first ide disk of the master controller. I have add a SIIG model cn2487 ata133 controller that has two WD 120 gid ata133 drives attached as master and slave on the first channel of the card. The install has detected the the controller and the drives and calls them hde and hdf THIS IS COOL REALLY COOL. 2.8 I used fdisk to set up hde and hdf. I created 3 partition on both drives. a 10 gig, a 1 gig swap and remainder 100+ gig. 2.9 System asked about formatting swap partitions. 2.10 I'm choosing /hde1 as the root / for the new install and formatting it ext3 /hde3 and /hdf1 and hdf3 are also to be formatted as ext3... NOTE: I received a warning about the master boot record and the fact that there may be a boot problem using hde and a boot floppy is recommended. I expected this, well cross my finger... 2.11 Well I'm using grub and the defaults, The system now asks about name severs. I removed 192.168.1.1 as primary and added my DSL providers IP's 204.60.0.2 204.60.0.3 2.12 Went thru generic selections and I'm installing just about everything, well no emacs. 2.13 The system is not in formatville and I think I will publish as this may take some time.. See you in PART 3. OH they have not asked me for the location of DISK_2 that has package information that will be needed, well let's wait and see. tom watson tosiwmee
