Next, the Welcome dialog appears.
Tip
You can save disk space by using the ISO images you have already copied to the server. To accom-
plish this, install Red Hat Enterprise Linux using ISO images without copying them into a single tree
by loopback mounting them. For each ISO image:
mkdir discX
mount -o loop example-1.iso discX
2.8. Welcome to Red Hat Enterprise Linux
The Welcome screen does not prompt you for any input. Read over the help text in the left panel for
additional instructions and information on where to register your Red Hat Enterprise Linux product.
Notice the Hide Help button at the bottom left corner of the screen. The help screen is open by default.
To minimize the help text, click on Hide Help.
Click on the Next button to continue.
2.9. FCP Devices
FCP (Fibre Channel protocol) devices enable zSeries systems to use SCSI devices rather than DASD
devices.
Typically, an operating system is loaded, and the automatic probing and defining of hardware is done
by the OS. However, zSeries systems require that any FCP (Fibre Channel protocol) device be entered
manually in order for the installation program to recognize the hardware. The values entered here are
unique to each site in which they are setup.
Each value entered should be verified as correct, as any mistakes made may cause the system not to
operate properly.
For more information on these values, refer to the hardware documentation that came with your system
and check with the system administrator who has setup the network for this system.
