DIRECTORY ORGANIZATION

   Red Hat Enterprise Linux is delivered on multiple CD-ROMs consisting of
   installation CD-ROMs and source code CD-ROMs.

   The first installation CD-ROM can be directly booted into the installation
   on most modern systems, and contains the following directory structure
   (where /media/cdrom is the mount point of the CD-ROM):


/media/cdrom
  |----> RedHat
  |        |----> RPMS         -- binary packages
  |        `----> base         -- information on this release of Red Hat
  |                               Enterprise Linux used by the installation
  |                               process
  |----> images                -- boot CD-ROM image
  |----> isolinux              -- Files used for booting from CD
  |----> README                -- this file
  |----> RELEASE-NOTES         -- the latest information about this release
  |                               of Red Hat Enterprise Linux
  `----> RPM-GPG-KEY           -- GPG signature for packages from Red Hat



   The remaining Installation CD-ROMs are similar to Installation CD-ROM 1,
   except that only the RedHat subdirectory is present.

   The directory layout of each source code CD-ROM is as follows:

/media/cdrom
  |----> SRPMS                 -- source packages
  `----> RPM-GPG-KEY           -- GPG signature for packages from Red Hat



   If  you  are  setting  up  an  installation tree for NFS, FTP, or HTTP
   installations, you must copy the RELEASE-NOTES files and all files from the
   RedHat  directory  on all operating systems CD-ROMs. On Linux and UNIX
   systems, the following process will properly configure the target directory
   on your server (repeat for each CD-ROM):
    1. Insert CD-ROM
    2. mount /media/cdrom
    3. cp -a /media/cdrom/RedHat <target-directory>
    4. cp /media/cdrom/RELEASE-NOTES* <target-directory> (Installation CD 1
       only)
    5. umount /media/cdrom

   (Where <target-directory> represents the path to the directory to contain
   the installation tree.)

Note

   Do not copy the Extras CD-ROM, or any of the layered product CD-ROMs, as
   this will overwrite files necessary for Anaconda's proper operation.

   These CD-ROMs must be installed after Red Hat Enterprise Linux has been
   installed.

INSTALLING

   Many computers can now automatically boot from CD-ROMs. If you have such a
   machine (and it is properly configured) you can boot the Red Hat Enterprise
   Linux Installation CD-ROM 1 directly. After booting, the Red Hat Enterprise
   Linux installation program will start, and you will be able to install your
   system from the CD-ROM.

   The images/ directory contains the file boot.iso. This file is an ISO image
   that can be used to boot the Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation program.
   It is a handy way to start network-based installations. To use boot.iso,
   your computer must be able to boot from its CD-ROM drive, and its BIOS
   settings must be configured to do so. You must then burn boot.iso onto a
   recordable/rewriteable CD-ROM.

   Another image file contained in the images/ directory is diskboot.img. This
   file is designed for use with USB pen drives (or other bootable media with a
   capacity larger than a diskette drive). Use the dd command to write the
   image.

Note

   The ability to use this image file with a USB pen drive depends on the
   ability of your system's BIOS to boot from a USB device.
