CertPrs8/RHCE Red Hat Certified Engineer Linux Study Guide (Exam RH302)/Jang/226454-3/Web Chapter A / Blind Folio PB Installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, Step by Step WebA.indd 1 6/14/2007 10:41:24 AM CertPrs8/RHCE Red Hat Certified Engineer Linux Study Guide (Exam RH302)/Jang/226454-3/Web Chapter A 2 Installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, Step by Step Installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 This appendix is straightforward. It illustrates the steps required to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Server on your computer, using graphical and text- based installation methods. Both are governed by the Red Hat program known as Anaconda. I've kept descriptive comments in this section to a minimum; for more information, read Chapter 2. For both graphical and text modes, I'll assume that you're installing from a remote installation server, shared with NFS. While there are a substantial number of options available when you install RHEL, I illustrate a more generic installation. If you want to learn about some of the options, you'll have to experiment with the installation yourself. In fact, the exercises in Chapter 2 are designed to help you learn the different things you can do with an RHEL installation, on your computer and during the exam.

If you're installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Client, the steps are the same; however, what you see is slightly different.

Graphical Installation To install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 on your computer, take the following steps:

1. Select and insert the media that you'll use to boot the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 installation program. It can be the first Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 CD, a boot CD created from the boot.iso file from the /images directory of the first installation CD, or a boot USB key created from the diskboot.img file from the same directory.

Text Installation To install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 on your computer in text mode, take the following steps:

1. Select and insert the media that you'll use to boot the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 installation program. It can be the first Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 CD, a boot CD created from the boot.iso file from the /images directory of the first installation CD, or a boot USB key created from the diskboot.img file from the same directory.
