Installing RH Linux 7.1 from Hard Disk

Yes it does. But the network installation disk
image loads all of the network card drivers
which are supported in Linux. So unless you use
a really funky network card, you should not have
a problem.

How will you create a network installation disk
image or a hard disk installation disk image. I guess that "rawrite" will not work- i have been unsuccesful with it!

Point value changed by question poster.

Yes you can install RH Linux 7.1 from netwok.
For that i can install using FTP or NFS.

If you are doing this using NFS, then configure the NFS server and copy the all files of redhat source in the directory and export it.At the time of linux intallation you choose the option of network installation , NFS and give the hostname and exported directory and complete the installation.

If you are doing this using FTP then copy the files of the linux source in the /ftp/pub/.
From this location the linux installation will be done.Here for linux installation choose network and ftp. Then specify the location.

For the case of hard-drive i don't the exact procedure.

Don't forget, if you're doing a network install you want the bootnet.img not boot.img. A laptop will require the secondary pcmcia.img also.
