DIRECTORY ORGANIZATION

Red Hat Linux is delivered on three CDROMs. Disc 1 contains the following
directory structure:

/mnt/redhat
  |----> RedHat
  |        |----> RPMS         -- binary packages
  |        `----> base         -- information on this release of Red Hat
  |                               Linux used by the installation process
  |----> ppc

  |
  |----> COPYING               -- copyright information
  |----> README                -- this file
  |----> RELEASE-NOTES         -- the latest information about this release

  `----> RPM-GPG-KEY           -- GPG signature for packages from Red Hat



The directory layout of disc 2 is as follows:

/mnt/redhat
  |----> RedHat
  |        `----> RPMS         -- additional binary packages
  |----> SRPMS                 -- source packages (more are on the dedicated
  |                               SRPMS CD)
  |----> COPYING               -- copyright information
  |----> README                -- this file
  |----> RELEASE-NOTES         -- the latest information about this release
  |                               of Red Hat Linux
  `----> RPM-GPG-KEY           -- GPG signature for packages from Red Hat


Disc 3 contains only source packages and is not required for installation.
See the README file in the top directory od disc 3 for more information.

If you are setting up an image for NFS, FTP, or HTTP installations, you
need to get everything from the RedHat directory from both CDs. On Linux
and Unix, the following process will properly set up the /target/directory
on your server for installing Red Hat.

    1) Insert disc 1
    2) mount /mnt/cdrom
    3) cp -a /mnt/cdrom/RedHat /target/directory
    4) umount /mnt/cdrom
    5) Replace disc 1 with disc 2
    6) mount /mnt/cdrom
    7) cp -a /mnt/cdrom/RedHat /target/directory
    8) umount /mnt/cdrom

Copy the file /ppc/iSeries/vmlinux from disc 1 to the OS/400 partition, and
set the "IPL stream file" option to boot from that location.

If you choose to install from a network source (FTP, HTTP, NFS), or if you
choose to perform a GUI install, the Network Configuration screens described
in the Installation Guide will occur much earlier in the installation process.

============================================================================
INSTALLING (iSeries)

NOTE: Please see the RELEASE-NOTES for additional updates and corrections
to the Installation Guide.

The Red Hat Linux for iSeries installer can now be run in GUI mode.

To run the installer in GUI mode, you'll need a separate machine with an
accessible X server. You can tell the installer to redirect graphics to
this machine's physical display by adding the parameter 
'display=<host>:<display>' to the kernel command line before booting the 
installer, where <host> is the hostname or IP address of the machine whose 
display you'll be using and <display> is the number of the display you'll 
use on that machine. For a machine set up for use as a normal desktop 
workstation, <display> will generally be 0.

Kernel arguments can be set via the "IPL parameters" field of the 
Network Server Description. Since these parameters are case-sensitive,
they should be enclosed within single quotes when entered in the Network 
Server Description.

eg: 'display=daffy.some.domain:0'

============================================================================
INSTALLING MULTIPLE LPARs FROM ONE CDROM

Although reported by some to work, installing multiple LPARs simultaneously
from one CDROM device is not supported. Use of this functionality is done 
at your own risk.

============================================================================
JAPANESE LANGUAGE INSTALLS

To run the installer in Japanese, you must use GUI mode. See the section
about GUI mode installation in this document. GUI mode is only available
for CDROM and NFS installation methods

If the install is performed using media other than CDROM, the installation 
program will start initially in text (TUI) mode, which is incapable of 
displaying multibyte characters. If you choose to use installation media 
other than CDROM, you will have to select language and installation 
media/source in the English language. Once the installation media has been 
located, the installer will start in GUI mode using the Japanese character
set and keyboard map on the display you specified.
