General Installation Notes

Be sure to read General Guidelines for All VMware Products on page 13 as well as this

guide to installing your specific guest operating system.

The easiest method of installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 in a virtual machine is to

use the standard Red Hat distribution CD. The notes below describe an installation

using the standard distribution CD; however, installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 via

the boot floppy/network method is supported as well. If your VMware product

supports it, you may also install from a PXE server.

Before installing the operating system, be sure that you have already created and

configured a new virtual machine.

Note: You should not run the X server that is installed when you set up Red Hat

Enterprise Linux 2.1. Instead, to get an accelerated SVGA X server running inside the

virtual machine, you should install the VMware Tools package immediately after

installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1.

Installation Steps

Note: Unless you are running a multiprocessor virtual machine under VMware ESX

Server, pay particular attention to the notes in step 6 about how to avoid installing an

inappropriate kernel.

1. Insert the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive.

2. Power on the virtual machine to start installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1.

You need to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 using the text mode installer,

which you may choose when you first boot the installer. At the Red Hat

Enterprise Linux 2.1 CD boot prompt, you are offered a number of choices,

including the following:

1 2 ... 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 ... 147 148
