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
I will read through the docs and see what I can find out, but I am doing
this from the ISO's, not cd's (so this is somewhat diff?).
replace cdrom with your loop device (see Craigs posting)
eg.
# mkdir /mnt/loop
1; # mount -oloop FC4-test1-i386-disc1.iso /mnt/loop
2; # cp -a /mnt/loop/Fedora /target/directory
3; # cp /mnt/loop/RELEASE-NOTES* /target/directory (Do this only for
disc 1)
4; # umount /mnt/loop
repeat 1,2,4 with all isos or with the isos/rpms you really need for
your installation
minimal-english = cd #1
you know whichcd ?
eg. under fedora core 3
$ /usr/share/comps-extras/whichcd.py mozilla
mozilla-1.7.3-17.i386.rpm is on disc 2
you can burn cd #1 or the boot.iso on a cd-rw.
eg.
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/test/3.90/i386/os/images/
boot from this cd-rw
choose hd|nfs|ftp|http installation which points to your target-directory
I would
rather not waste creating cd's
no wasted time/cd
if I can install from the ISO
unfortunately the iso-installation is broken in fc4t1
or create the files from the ISO's.
yes you can.
