No, you can boot off the first CD to do a disk install, but you must have all the ISOs in a single directory and use the "askmethod" parameter on the boot command line from the installer: boot: linux askmethod The alternative method is copy the boot image from the first CD to a flash disk and boot that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - You know you've landed gear-up when it takes full power to taxi. - - -- Chuck Yeager - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Redhat-install-list mailing list Redhat-install-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-install-list To Unsubscribe Go To ABOVE URL or send a message to: redhat-install-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: unsubscribe
