Hi, All, I'm very happy to see many people try to help, and want to describe why i have such kind of questions
As all knows, redhat 8 was announced available serveral days ago, and i got the DVD iso, and i want to have a try (for myself i use debian on my pc, but enterprise customs use RHEL/CentOS/SLES ) And i managed to install it from harddisk But i'm lazy 1. i don't want extract files from iso 2. i don't want to cp *.iso /dev/sdb (dd )to destroy my data on USB stick to make it as install media 3. I have grub 4. i have a spare partition on my PC (say /dev/sda9) to install it Can we do that? We have a solution for debian, as mentioned, use hd-media (vmlinuz, initrd.gz with iso-scan) in step 2 , so it's not a really a problem But this should have share the common ground in installation, isn't? That's why i post my question here.
