to performing an installation, use an md5sum program (many md5sum programs are available for
various operating systems). An md5sum program should be available on the same server as the ISO
images.
The
Select Partition screen (Figure 4–3, Selecting Partition Dialog for Hard Drive Installation) ap-
plies only if you are installing from a disk partition (that is, if you selected
Hard Drive
in the Installa-
tion Method
dialog). This dialog allows you to name the disk partition and directory from which you
are installing Red Hat Linux.
Enter the device name of the partition containing the Red Hat ISO images. There is also a field labeled
Directory holding images. If the ISO images are not in the root directory of that partition, enter the
path to the ISO images (for example, if the ISO images are in /test/new/RedHat, you would
enter /test/new).
After you have identified the disk partition, you will next see the
Welcome
dialog. See Table 4–1,
Installation Cross-reference Table for more information.
