I am trying to install Redhat linux, "Network Install"
I have a small network with 3 computers connected via D-Link, but no internet.
And, downloaded 5 image files in one of the computers running win XP.
Can I do Network install with this configuration ?

any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks

I have never used RH net install, but I don't think that this will work,
unless that XP box is running an ftp server (I believe thats how rh does it,
via ftp or other means; sure to not include windows file shares)

If you have CD-RW device on your WinXP box, you could create four CDs
from those images, and then install from local CD-drive.
If you have FTP/HTTP/NFS server software running on that WinXP box -
you could *try* network installation. I would try using HTTP (Web)
server first.

Read the requirements for Redhat's "network install" and set things up
so you meet them. If, for example, it supports a web server that servers the
CD images, then set that up.
