Red Hat Linux 6.2 Installation Guidelines
The easiest method of installing Red Hat Linux 6.2 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 6.2 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.
Caution: Red Hat Linux 6.2 does not run on Pentium 4 processors. It also does not run
on Xeon processors that are branded Xeon, with no qualifier, or Xeon-MP (Pentium III
Xeon processors are OK).
Install Red Hat Linux 6.2 using the text mode installer, which you may choose when
you first boot the installer. At the Red Hat Linux 6.2 CD boot prompt, you are offered
the following choices:
To install or upgrade a system in graphical mode
To install or upgrade a system in text mode, type: text <ENTER>.
To enable expert mode,
Use the function keys listed below
Choose the text mode installer by typing text followed by Enter.
Note: During the Red Hat Linux 6.2 installation, a standard VGA16 X server (without
support for the VMware ESX Server X server) is installed. 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 6.2.
Red Hat Linux 6.2 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 6.2
installation process, be sure the virtual machine’s Ethernet adapter is enabled
and configured.
If you plan to install the guest operating system from a physical CD-ROM disc, be
sure the CD-ROM drive is connected to the virtual machine.
2. Insert the Red Hat Linux 6.2 CD in the CD-ROM drive and click the Power On
button. The virtual machine should start booting from the CD and the
installation process begins.
3. Follow the installation steps as you would for a real PC.
