Re: Install problem with PCMCIA DVD-ROM

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



These are the few option I can think of.

1) Copy iso of the DVD on the harddisk and point the installer there.
(easiest)
2) Put the iso on http/ftp/nfs and point the installer to the location
on the network.
3) Use a usb DVD rom.
