4.5 For FTP Installations Only...

If you are not performing an FTP installation, please skip ahead to Section 4.6.

If you are performing an FTP installation, please mark this place in the manual, because you'll be returning here later. Turn to Section 3.4.3. This section will guide you through the necessary network configuration dialog boxes. When you get to the ``FTP Setup'' dialog box, come back here...

OK, you're back. You should have entered all the necessary network information, and should now be looking at the ``FTP Setup'' dialog box. Here's where you point the installation program at the FTP site of your choice (see Figure 25). Enter the name or IP address of the FTP site you are installing from, and the name of the directory there which contains the RedHat directory for your architecture. For example, if the FTP site contains the directory
/pub/mirrors/redhat/i386/RedHat, enter /pub/mirrors/redhat/i386. If you are not using anonymous FTP, or if you need to use a proxy FTP server (if you're behind a firewall, for example), check the check box, and another dialog box will request the FTP account and proxy information.

Figure 25: Installing via FTP

If everything has been specified properly, you should see a message box indicating that
base/hdlist is being retrieved. Now turn to Section 4.8 to continue installing Red Hat Linux.
