Red Hat Linux 7.3 Installation Guidelines
The easiest method of installing Red Hat Linux 7.3 in a virtual machine is to use the
standard Red Hat distribution CD. The notes below describe an installation using the
standard distribution CD; however, installing Red Hat Linux 7.3 via the boot floppy/
network method is supported as well.
Before installing the operating system, be sure that you have already created a new
virtual machine and configured it using the ESX Server Virtual Machine Wizard.
Note: You should not run the X server that is installed when you set up Red Hat
Linux 7.3. Instead, to get an accelerated SVGA X server running inside the virtual
machine, you should install the VMware Tools package immediately after installing
Red Hat Linux 7.3.
Installation Steps
1. Use the VMware Management Interface to verify the virtual machine’s devices
are set up as you expect before starting the installation. For example, if you
would like networking software to be installed during the Red Hat Linux 7.3
installation process, be sure the virtual machines Ethernet adapter is enabled
and configured. VMware also recommends that you disable the screen saver on
the host system before starting the installation process.
2. Insert the Red Hat Linux 7.3 CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive and power on the
virtual machine.
You need to install Red Hat Linux 7.3 using the text mode installer, which you

select the Emulate 3 Buttons? option for three-button mouse support in the
virtual machine.
5. Choose the language and keyboard, then in the Installation Type screen, choose
either Server or Workstation for the installation type.
