[ILUG-BOM] RH8.0-Remote instalaltion stops saying " The Second stage of install which you have.."
Hi,
I would like to do the Redhat-8.0 installation remotely(since the machine don't have CDROM)
I have done several Redhat-7.x remote installations using NFS method.
I created "bootnet.img "
# dd if=/mnt/cdrom/images/bootnet.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=512
When i boot machine from this floppy the installation stops showing "The Second stage of install which you have selected does not match the boot disk your using..."
What went wrong ?

perhaps you are using bootnet for RH 7.3 while trying to install RH 8.0.
Just curious, why did you go for RH 8 when it is no longer supported?

No - have re-checked the img.I'm using 'bootnet.img' created explicitly from Redhat-8.0 media itself....

I'm trying Exim-mailserver on this :)

how about debian sid, or mandrake - both are supported well. there are many more to choose from, all with varying levels of support.

If you like the Debian way, Debian. Otherwise, Gentoo and Slack are good choices for servers.

If you really want something like redhat, I'd suggest fedora core 1. Otherwise, there are plenty of other Non-RH options that others have already suggested.

Sorry for the line-length.

I think you have just copied the initial boot sector with the bs=512 option.
you need to use "bs=1440k count=1" HTH
