2.1. Installation from a Network Server
You may install Fedora Core from a network server using FTP, HTTP, or
NFS protocols. Refer to
Section 3.3, “Installing from a Server or Web Site” for
information on installation servers.
2.1.1. TCP/IP Configuration
By default, the installation program uses DHCP to automatically
provide the network settings. If your network has no DHCP
server, clear the check box labeled
Use dynamic IP
configuration
and enter the settings manually.
Select
OK
to continue.
These settings apply only during the installation process. The
installation program allows you to configure the final network
configuration later.
2.1.2. Network Service Setup
The FTP, HTTP, and NFS service setup dialogs are very similar.
Each requires the name or IP address of the server, and a
directory where the installation files reside. To use a public
server, or mirror website, refer to
Section 3.3, “Installing from a Server or Web Site” for
information on valid server names and directory paths.
The FTP service setup dialog also has an option for
non-anonymous FTP
. If your FTP server does
not provide anonymous access, select this check box, and provide
an account name and password in the following dialog. Select
OK
to continue.
