I have downloaded the 7.92 test 3 DVD iso image. I would like to put this on my local web server, and do a network install from that onto my laptop, via http. I suppose this would be alot faster than a network installation across the internet?
Are there any Linux utilites that would allow me to unpack the iso's contents into my web server directory please?
Kind Regards
Keith Roberts

Yes.

Some starting points:
option 1) "mount file.iso /some/mnt/point -o loop"
option 2) GNOME desktop, right-click on .iso file, open with "Archive Manager"
option 3) isomaster http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/6/i386/repoview/is...
the easiest for me was to mount the iso under /var/ftp/pub/<somedir> and then start the ftp server.

Nice one Cornel. I just followed your suggestion and mounted the iso under my web server root. Alot quicker than unpacking the iso with Iso Master. Saved me having to copy the files across as well.

Thanks for that Michael. I have tried Iso Master under KDE and that works OK.
I might try mounting the iso directly, then copying the files to my server directory. I take it that would be quicker that Iso Master having to unpack the files first?

You could consider putting the ISO on a NFS share. You wouldn't need to mount the ISO then. At install time point it at the directory that contains the ISO (you don't even need the ISO file name)
Thanks Andrew. I don't use NFS - but I do have a ftp server running on my machine. So I might try the ftp option suggested by Cornel as well.

There is a script for this, which has been working for me to set up ISO images for LTSP, and RHL test installs -- looking at it I first published an ancestor of the current scriipt externally five years ago. Looks like I started using it before RHL 6 days. See item 6.
http://www.owlriver.com/tips/pxe-install/
Other approaches to hang ISO images for wire installs abound as well. From doco from its upstream: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Installation_Guide-en-US/s1-steps-network-...

Thankyou for that Russ. There's alot there. Probably alot more than I currently need, but I will bookmark it for later reference anyway.
Kind Regards
