Five methods available for installing linux

ThinkInstall linuxSystem. If you have not installed the CD, try the five installation methods of Linux. Below are some of my processes and experiences.

There are five types of Linux InstallationMethod

1. CD

2. Hard Disk

3. NFS Image

4. FTP

5. HTTP

Among them, CD installation is the most common, and I will not write the simplest. The machine I installed does not have an optical drive or a soft drive !!! Only the NIC and one 128MU disk ^ o ^

I. Hard Disk installation is divided into two situations:

A. It is installed on Win System

B. The installation is started from other Linux

This section describes how to install Windows in most people. The second method has not been called.

1. Install the system --- RedHat 9.0, Fedra core 1 and 2. I found that the hard disk MBR was damaged when I installed FC3test3, and there was no way to restore it using the Repair Tool .) My PC has a 40 Gb hard drive. The main partition has only one 10GFAT32 format, and the extended partition is 30 GB. 20 GB is in FAT32 format for WINDOWS, and 10 Gb is in LinuxEX3 format.

I installed the XP system on drive C, downloaded the three ISO files of RedHat9.0, and put them in the root directory of drive D, Red Hat Linux_i1.iso, Red Hat Linux_i3.iso, and Red Hat Linux_i3.iso.

2, with the CD tool Daemon-v3.47 to extract the Dosutils directory in the first image to the D disk root directory, to see if there are these main files:

LOADLIN. EXE

AUTOBOOT \ INITRD. IMG

AUTOBOOT \ VMLINUZ

Generally, they are complete and do not need to modify the autoboot. bat file.

3. Make a USB flash drive. I have been working on it for a day. My USB flash drive is a general 128 MB drive without startup. The USB boot.1.62u boot and production tools are disabled on the Internet. So I did it myself. After experiment, I found a good way to format the USB flash disk as FAT16 or FAT32, and then use FDISK/mbr to clear the boot partition, on a colleague's machine, use the SYS command of WIN98 to send the system file to the USB flash drive. Then, the USB flash drive can be started.

4, restart the system into the BIOS, set the boot as a USB-FDD, enter the DOS after the D disk to run the dosutils directory autoboot. bat

5. In this case, select/dev/hda5 from the hard disk. ----- my d Disk

The system automatically finds all files.
