You can't. You would loop-back mount it on the server before you tried to do the installation. An easier supported method is just dropping the ISOs in a NFS exported directory. If you do it this way, the installer knows how to open the ISOs and do the rest of the installation. James -----Original Message----- From: Brian K.

In the FTP section of the install manual, it shows a picture of the FTP dialog screen where you can enter the name of the server and the directory containing the 'Redhat files for your architecture'. Simple 'nuff - been there, done that. However, it says on the bottom - in a 'Tip', that: You can also install Red Hat Linux using ISO images without copying them into a single tree by loopback mounting them as: disc1/,disc2/,disc3 What exactly does that mean? Can someone clarify this a little? How do you 'loopback mount' something that's across the network, over FTP? -- Brian K.
