notes For the source file, enter “boot.img”. For the destination file, enter “a:” (assuming the diskette
you are created is inserted into the A: drive). The “rawrite” program will then copy the “boot.
img” file onto diskette.
Under Linux/Unix: Assuming the “boot.img” file is located in the current directory (you may
need to mount the CD-ROM under /mnt/cdrom and find the file in /mnt/cdrom/images), you
can type:

dd if=boot.img of=/dev/fd0
The “dd” utility will copy, as its input file (“if”), the “boot.img” file, onto the output file (“of”) /
dev/fd0 (assuming your floppy drive is accessible from /dev/fd0).
Unless your Linux or Unix system allows write permissions to the floppy device, you may need
to do this command as the superuser. (If you know the root password, type “su” to become the
superuser, execute the “dd” command, and then type “exit” to return to normal user status).
With either of the above schemes, you should now have a bootable Red Hat installation diskette
that you can use to install your new Red Hat Linux system.

Task In order to install Linux, we must begin by booting the Linux kernel. Explain

1.5 graphical installation Launch

The Red Hat Enterprise Linux graphical installer steps the user through the major steps involved in
preparing a system for installation. The Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 installation graphical installer
introduces major usability enhancements for disk partitioning and storage configuration.
The graphical installer now allows a user to choose basic storage devices or specialized storage
devices. Basic Storage Devices typically do not need any additional configuration settings
before the device is usable. A new interface has been implemented for configuring specialized
storage devices. Firmware RAID devices, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) devices, multipath
devices, and other storage area network (SAN) devices can now be easily configured using the
new interface.
