2.4. Installing from a Hard Drive (DASD)

	Note
	DASD installations only work from ext2 or ext3 file systems. If you have a file system other than ext2 or ext3 you will not be able to perform a DASD installation.

Additionally, if a file called RedHat/base/updates.img exists in the directory from which you install, it is used for installation program updates. Refer to the file install-methods.txt in the anaconda RPM package for detailed information on the various ways to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux, as well as how to apply the installation program updates.

The Select Partition screen applies only if you are installing from a disk partition (that is, if you selected Hard Drive in the Installation Method dialog). This dialog allows you to name the disk partition and directory from which you are installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Enter the device name of the partition containing the Red Hat Enterprise Linux ISO images. There is also a field labeled Directory holding images.

If the ISO images are in the root (top-level) directory of that partition, enter the path to the ISO images (for example, if the partition on which the ISO images are located is normally mounted as /home/, and the images are in /home/new/, you would enter new).

If the ISO images are not in the root (top-level) directory of that partition, enter the full path to the ISO images (for example, if the ISO images are located in /test/new/, you would enter /test/new/).

After you have identified the disk partition, the Welcome dialog appears.
