If you're doing an FTP install, put the files in a link (it can be a soft
link!) in /home/ftp >OR< create an account "RedHat" and simply mount the
.iso there.
mount /<path to rh iso>/7.0-i386-disc1.iso -o loopback -t iso9770 /home/ftp/
will do the trick if you don't need disk 2... if you do,
follow the directions in the readme file, it does work.
Of course, this is predicated on the .isos being ok...

Subject: FTP install 7.0
Hello:
Quick question. "Non-political too :-)"
I have been trying to through up the RPM's on my networked server plus the
contents fo the /RedHat/base directory on a directory called /usr/RedHat so
that I can do a ftp install of RH 7.0, well no problem there I have the set
up in /usr/RedHat/RPMS and I have /usr/RedHat/base setup. My Cd burner I
believe is hosed as I can not get a good burn from either .iso image. Well I
use the boot image called bootnet.img to allow me to chose ftp install and
when I login and begin the error message on the installer says something to
the effect that the Ramdisk can not be found and it can not proceed. Is
there a certain directory that I need to place ramdisk and where do I find
it. I thought it was part of the bootnet.img. I have tryed to ftp off the
ftp sites but it is just way too slow. It took me 2 days to get the .iso
images. Any suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
Eddie
