Figure 17.4. FTP Setup Dialog
Enter the name or IP address of the FTP site you are installing from, and the name of the
directory containing the variant/ directory for your architecture. For example, if the FTP site
contains the directory /mirrors/redhat/arch/variant;/, enter /mirrors/redhat/arch/
(where arch is replaced with the architecture type of your system, such as i386, ia64, ppc, or
s390x, and variant is the variant that you are installing, such as Client, Server, Workstation,
etc.). If everything was specified properly, a message box appears indicating that files are being
retrieved from the server.
Next, the Welcome dialog appears.
Tip
You can save disk space by using the ISO images you have already copied to
the server. To accomplish this, install Red Hat Enterprise Linux using ISO
images without copying them into a single tree by loopback mounting them. For
each ISO image:
mkdir discX
mount -o loop RHEL5-discX.iso discX
Replace X with the corresponding disc number.
