Preconfiguring Your Network to Support
Red Hat Linux Installation
The procedures provided in this appendix describe how to preconfigure your Linux
network to support PXE installation of Red Hat Linux software. Some of the
following procedures might not be necessary if you confirm that the server packages
are already in place and configured.
Note –
For 32-bit users:
The compressed files and extracted directories described in
the Red Hat Linux procedures in this appendix are given for a 64-bit installation. If
you are performing a 32-bit installation, the files and directories are slightly
different.
For 64-bit, the compressed file image is:
rhel3_64-pxefiles.tar.gz
and the extracted directory is:
rhel3_64-pxefiles/
For 32-bit, the compressed file image is:
rhel3_32-pxefiles.tar.gz
and the extracted directory is:
rhel3_32-pxefiles/
All the other directories and directions are the same for both 64-bit and 32-bit.
