RHE Network Installation

[durban56]

I'm new to red hat and I am trying to copy the installation CDs to a directory for netowrk installation. I use "cp -ar /mnt/cdrom/. /install and
cp -ar /mnt/cdrom/ /install" to copy the ISOs from the CDs to my installation directory.
The first CD copied with no problem, but the remining CDs are asking me to override files like .discinfo and EULA, among others.
Am I coping the ISO CDs wrong and if so what is the best way to go about this?

Thanks!

It's been so long since I've done an install like this but I seem to remember that only the iso files are required. You may need to create iso images of each cd and put it in the install directory. Sorry if I'm wrong on this.

You can use either by copying image as ISO files if you are going to do the installation only via NFS.

However for FTP, HTTP and NFS method you need to have all the CDs copied. Overwrite files when prompted.

The following guide should be useful

Have you considered just copying the ISO files and then mounting them as using the mount loop command, which will allow you to see them as just another directory. I used this method when setting up my kickstart server
