[plug] Install via NFS or FTP (RedHat 5.0)

[HILL Walter]

Kevin,

	I have a single-IDE 486 and a CDROM that refuses to work on the
same IDE
	as a HDD, so I'm trying to install RedHat with NFS or FTP.

Are you sure that it is an IDE CDROM? One of the original proprietary
(Sony, Mitsumi & Panasonic I think) pre-ide CDROMs had a connector the
same size!

Is the HDD configured as a master & the CDROM configured as a slave?

Correct port address?

Regards,
Walter...

	I have a single-IDE 486 and a CDROM that refuses to work on the
same IDE
	as a HDD, so I'm trying to install RedHat with NFS or FTP.

	I'm fairly sure the network is adequate, because I get a long
delay if I
	specify an incorrect server IP and a short delay when it's
right.  But I
	don't seem to be able to get started with either process when I
specify
	the path '/mnt/cdrom/RedHat/instimage' or
'/mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS' or
	'/mnt/cdrom/RedHat' or even just '/mnt/cdrom'.

	The FTP and NFS daemons are running - I can mount locally on the
server.

	Has anyone done an FTP or NFS install in RedHat and knows the
trick?
	Otherwise I guess I'll have to buy another dual-IDE card . .

	K.
