If you are setting up an installation tree for NFS, FTP, or HTTP
installations, you need to copy the RELEASE-NOTES files and all files
from
the Fedora directory on discs 1-3. On Linux and Unix systems, the
following process will properly configure the /target/directory on your
server (repeat for each disc):
1. Insert disc
2. mount /mnt/cdrom
3. cp -a /mnt/cdrom/Fedora /target/directory
4. cp /mnt/cdrom/RELEASE-NOTES* /target/directory (Do this only for disc
1)
5. umount /mnt/cdrom
</snip>
3 export /path/2/fc4 as nfs share
[/path/2/fc4 192.168.1.*(ro,sync)]
service nfs restart
On the install target
4 linux askmethod at promopt
5 continue with nfs minimal install as normal.
Ok, another stupid question.
1 - If I understood you correctly, you mounted the first ISO, used the
files in it to do a minimal install via NFS but to the files instead of
the ISO?
2 - Depending on answer to first question, what if I wanted a more than
minimal install, don't I have to do all 4 iso's like that so they
include all the files and are in the same dir? Or do I have to do it
differently to get them all in the same dir and have proper structure
lay out?
you can do what you want:
rescue, minimal, server, workstation, custom, expert, ...
