What jakub suggests is unfortunately not an option. Since the server has a 80 GB hard drive and all of it is currently one partition. Will either of the following two ideas work: A. I have my laptop running FC2 and it has the iso's on it. Can i do some kind of NFS install or network install from the laptop, B. I have a USB hard drive with fat 32 parition on it. Can i put the iso's on it and do something with it, Thanks, vikas --- Jakub Jelinek <jakub@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Tue, May 18, 2004 at 08:07:17AM -0700, Vikas > Kedia wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I have a server running redhat 9. > > > > This server does not have floopy drive or CD drive > > it does have usb port. > > > > How do i install FC2 on it. > > If you have some disk partition which you don't > install to, > you can do hard disk installation. > Simply, put the ISO images into some directory on > that partition, > mount -o loop FC2-i386-disc1.iso /mnt/cdrom > cp -a /mnt/cdrom/isolinux/vmlinuz /boot/FC2-install > cp -a /mnt/cdrom/isolinux/initrd.img > /boot/FC2-install.img > umount /mnt/cdrom > and add entry like: > title Fedora Core 2 Installation > root (hd0,0) > kernel /boot/FC2-install > initrd /boot/FC2-install.img > to your /etc/grub.conf, then reboot into "Fedora > Core 2 Installation". > During the install choose Hard Disk installation and > point the installer > at the partition with ISOs. > > Jakub __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
