1st, i would not consider a net install unless i was protected by going thru a good firewall server.
a DHCP/PXE server isnt going to reply to internet queries, and your TFTP server should be restricted to local addresses only, this pretty much secures a netinstall. the rest? I use a http server with a copy of the OS mirror, who cares if the internet can see it?
as for 'no CD in drive', possible reason is something is being picked off cd and drive is slow waking up and install is not allowing enough time.
indeed, the 'minimal' install ISO is hardly any bigger than the netinstall ISO, and is less hassle... after doing the minimal install, you can `yum groupinstall` anything else you need. The only time I use netinstall is when I'm doing a full jumpstart/kickstart style install via PXE.
Thanks, John.
I've always used the netinstall but I'll give minimal a try.
Thanks to everybody for their valuable input.
Cheers,
