10 Chapter 1. Steps to Get You Started
1.8. Installing in an LPAR (Common Steps)
Once the Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation program has started (if the red field behind the LPAR
icon is disappearing, the installation program has begun), select the LPAR and double-click on Oper-
ating System Messages.
The initial installation start-up script asks you questions about your networking and DASD configura-
tions. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 has changed the limit for parameter file definitions and now accepts
thirty-two (32) parameters. Any information not specified in the parameter file must be specified by
answering the installation program questions.
Once all questions have been answered, you are ready to begin the core installation program, loader.
To continue with the installation, refer to Chapter 2 Installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux for further
instructions.
Note
If you install over a network with FTP or HTTP you must perform a text mode installation.
1.9. Do You Have Enough Disk Space?
Nearly every modern-day operating system (OS) uses disk partitions, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux is
no exception. When you install Red Hat Enterprise Linux, you may have to work with disk partitions.
The disk space used by Red Hat Enterprise Linux must be separate from the disk space used by other
OSes you may have installed on your system.
For more information about disks and partition configuration, refer to
Section 2.13.4 Recommended Partitioning Scheme.
