Re: Missing file for RHEL 5 installation???
Cameron, I am making progress, but am stuck on this. Any suggestions? Do you have a Virtualization Cookbook? It has step-by-step recipes for many tasks including installing RHEL. There is one for RHEL 5.2 (I don't think the install changed much in RHEL 5.7) on http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247492.html?Open See chapter 7. Hope this helps.

Re: Missing file for RHEL 5 installation???
I had a similar problem when I used a Windows machine to host the installation files. Windows doesn't understand symbolic links. If you search the other directories, you may find the file you're 'missing'. My solution was to copy the file to the expected location. If you have an existing Linux system where you could host the files it would work, I believe.

No problem. Do I have to use NFS?

Re: Missing file for RHEL 5 installation???
Greetings, Mr Seay. Have you followed the outlined steps on the Installation Guide, for FTP Installation? http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Installation_Guide/s1-steps-network-installs-x86.html It tells you that the files from 'images' and all the Release Notes shall be copied to the root directory of the FTP folder you are pointing your installation, and therefore your ISO file, to.
