How to Copy Linux Files

Steps

1. Create a directory to contain the Linux files.

   ---

   Note –

   To serve multiple distributions from the same server, create a separate directory for each distribution.

   ---

2. Mount the first CD-ROM or ISO image file.

   Use a command similar to one of the following examples:

   #mount /dev/cdrom by default, will mount on /mnt/cdrom, check /etc/fstab #mount /path-to-first-iso /mnt/loop assumes /mnt/loop exists

3. Copy the content from the CD-ROM or ISO image file to the directory that you created in Step 1.

   Use a command similar to one of the following examples:

   #/bin/cp -avf /mnt/cdrom/* /export/RHEL3.0 #bin/cp -avf /mnt/loop/* /export/RHEL3.0

4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for all the CD-ROM or ISO media in the distribution.
