Hi,
I am trying to install RHEL5.3 using kickstart method. Copied the rhel.iso file from DVD to http location. ks.cfg and rhel.iso files are available on a WINDOWS2008 Server (via HTTP). In ks.cfg file, provided the media path as url --url=http://xx.xx.xx.xx/RHEL53. System understanding the ks.cfg file but while installing the OS I am getting an error something like "dvd+rw-tools-7.0-1.el5.rpm is missing or media corrupted."
Tried expanding(unzipping) the rhel.iso file at same http location on WINDOWS2008 Server but still I am getting the same kind of error msg.
Tested the media (DVD/CD) by changing the ks.cfg file media path as cdrom and the installation is working fine.
How to get the right media on windows2008? Is there any method to copy the RHEL DVD files to a windows server? Is it OK to use the windows machine for the Linux media repository for kickstart installations?
Thanks in advance.
