Not so difficult. I think I have posted it before. 1. First check whether vsftpd rpm is installed or not. rpm -qa | grep vsftp 2. Insert you first cd and give following command cp -a /media/mnt_of_cd /var/ftp/pub 3. Repeat the above steps for all cds. ( If you have dvd then no problem you need to execute once only). done. :) 4. start you vsftpd services service vsftpd restart 5. Now there is difference for RHEL4 and RHEL5 RHEL 4 works on dir but for RHEL5 you need yum service So if you have RHEL 5 read this other wise jump to Client part. 6. # cd /var/ftp/pub/Server rpm -ivh createrepo-*.rpm 7. #createrepo . <=========observe dot here after space 8. Wait and observe.....finish good. Client part :- for RHEL 4 1. Boot your pc with first cd and give following to boot prompt boot : linux askmethod 2. when it ask you select ftp method 3. at host or ip address insert your server ip address 4. source dir type "/pub" Enjoy network installation. if you are using RHEL5 you copy this file at /etc/yum.repos.d/ [rhel-base] name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch - basic baseurl=ftp://ip_address_of_server/Server enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 #gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release Thats it now give #yum list Tell me if you have some error. I hate people they ask questions and after they will not reply what happen. n Fri, May 16, 2008 at 11:02 AM, Girish <girish@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi Everybody, > > > > I want to configure a network installation server for > linux in our company.
