Easy installation of Red Hat 9.0

For many Linux enthusiasts, you may have encountered such a problem. When installing the system, you have not installed a disk at hand, however, although there are existing ISO image files downloaded from the Internet on the hard disk, there is no burner at the moment, and it cannot be installed after the dial. Today, I will take Red Hat Linux9.0 as an example to describe how to install Red Hat linux 9.0 using the ISO image file on the hard disk.
First you can download the Red Hat Linux official download site (ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/9/en/iso/ I #/) or other FTP site to get Red Hat Linux9.0 three respectively named shrike-i386-disc1, shrike-i386-disc2, shrike-i386-disc3 installation image file. Use WinISO (which can be downloaded from http://www.winiso.com/download.htm) to open the visible directory structure of the image file named shrike-i386-disc1.

Release the directory named dosutils to the root directory of A Logical Disk on the hard disk, which facilitates the following operations in DOS. At the same time, release the folder named images to the same directory. Then in Windows 98, choose to restart the computer and switch to the MS-DOS mode or use a system disk to reboot and enter the DOS environment. Find the directory where the file was just released and go to dosutils to view an executable file named rawrite. A prompt will appear after the file is executed.
A blank floppy disk is displayed, which is the boot disk used for Linux installation. Then, the system requires you to enter the location and name of the. imgfile. Here, we need to note that the images directory we released has four names, bootdisk. img, drvblock. img, drvnet. img, pcmciadd. img imgfile, bootdisk. the imgfile is the image file used for system boot when we install linux from a CD or hard disk.
Drvblock in the other three files. img is the image file for system guidance, bootnet. img is installed in network mode, such as the Boot Image File in NFS mode, pcmciadd. img is a boot image file for users using the PCMCIA card to support laptop installation. After you type the location of the bootdisk. imgfile, the system will prepare a boot disk for installation. Then use this floppy disk to boot the system. If you do not select floppy as the first boot device in the BIOS, modify the BIOS settings and then reboot the machine. After the machine is started, it will automatically enter the familiar Linux installation screen, and then follow the on-screen prompts to operate. During the installation process, the installation program requires us to select the installation method and the location of the image file. The options are Local CDROM, Hard drive, NFS images, FTP, and HTTP. We only need to select the second Hard drive and enter the storage location of the ISO image file on the Hard disk.
The subsequent installation process will be exactly the same as the steps for us to use the CD for installation, but it will save us the trouble of changing the disk midway through. Now you can make a cup of fragrant tea, wait for your Red Hat Linux9.0 to be released!
