76 Chapter 4:Installing Red Hat Linux via Text Mode
Figure 4–4 NFS Setup Dialog
Enter the fully-qualified domain name or IP address of your NFS server. For example, if you are
installing from a host named eastcoast in the domain redhat.com, enter eastcoast.red-
hat.com in the
NFS Server field.
Next, enter the name of the exported directory. If you followed the setup described in Section 4.6,
Installing over a Network, you would enter the directory
/location/of/disk/space/ which
contains the RedHat directory.
If the NFS server is exporting a mirror of the Red Hat Linux installation tree, enter the directory which
contains the RedHat directory. (If you do not know this directory path, ask your system administra-
tor.) For example, if your NFS server contains the directory /mirrors/redhat/ia64/RedHat,
enter /mirrors/redhat/ia64.
Next you will see the
Welcome dialog. See Table 4–1, Installation Cross-reference Table for more
information.
4.6.3 FTP Setup
The FTP dialog (Figure 4–5, FTP Setup Dialog) applies only if you are installing from an FTP server
(if you selected
FTP in the
Installation Method dialog). This dialog allows you to identify the FTP
server from which you are installing Red Hat Linux.
