Hi all,
I have recently come across a net installation issue that does
not seem to make much sense to me. Since I'm installing a bare
bones server, I really didn't want to download all the ISOs. As a
result I burned the FC4 boot.iso and booted to the disk. I was
able to perform a minimal headless installation with ssh using an http
mirror. Since this was successful, I would like to be able to
quickly replicate this installation process on my LAN. I have a
server that uses rsync to keep synced with one of the fedora 4 mirrors,
minus the installation CD ISOs. The synced directory is in my
var/www/html directory. I can reference it by name or IP from my
installed LAN machines at
http://homer/fedora/4/i386/os/
or
http://192.168.0.1/fedora/4/i386/
However whenever I try either of these URLs in the net install, it is
constantly giving me the error that 192.168.0.1 is not a valid
host. I have successfully acquired an IP address from the DHCP
server, and I can ping the host on the network. Does anyone have
any idea why this would be happening?
Thanks,
Todd
