Overview of Red Hat Enterprise Linux Installation

This topic provides instructions for installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux from distribution media. You can also install RHEL using a PXE installation, as described in Configuring a Linux Server to Support PXE Installation.

Note the following conditions:

• If you are going to install your OS on a disk that is part of a RAID array, you must configure the RAID array before installing your OS. See your disk management documentation collection for details.

• While configuring an operating system for a networked server, you must provide the logical names (assigned by the OS) and the physical name (MAC address) of each network interface. See Identifying Logical and Physical Network Interface Names for Linux OS Configuration for details.
