Two ways: 1. Go to expert/custom installation and install only software found on CD1. All the base packages (stuff that don't show up in available packages list) are already on CD1. For example, to install just a webserver, you don't need the other CDs at all. 2. (not recommended) When it asks for CD2, go to Alt-F2, and in the shell there, chroot to /tmp/source (or wherever it has mounted the root disk of the installation). Edit etc/lilo.conf, create a lilo.conf for yourself (you will need the kernel image name etc. found in /boot). Run lilo, add a root password and then abort the installation. All post configuration can be done after reboot. For interfaces similar to the installer's, run the appropriate *config tool - a partial list is: netconfig timeconfig Xconfigurator sndconfig kbdconfig mouseconfig lokkit The way to do this (somewhat reminiscent of windows :-) is to do a touch /.unconfigured as root and reboot. If you are even more daring, prior to creating a lilo.conf, you can bring up your network interface, and download the missing packages from any of the redhat mirror sites and have a full working installation while the installer is sitting idle waiting for CD2. :-) Binand -- If you found this helpful, please take some time off to rate it: http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=binand ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
