telnet installation of Redhat

telnet installation of Redhat

[Lorenzo Prince]

Hi.

I understand there is a way to install RH9 using telnet from another
machine.  Unfortunately, looking at the documentation, I can't seem to
find how to do this.  There was a message on the Speakup list about this,
but I don't have it to refer back to anymore.  Can someone tell me how to
do this or give me a URL where I can find documentation on this feature?

Thanks,
Lorenzo

I'd crawl over an acre of 'Visual This++' and 'Integrated Development
That' to get to gcc, Emacs, and gdb.  Thank you.

Hello 
Here is the message from the list.

"Hi, if you have a personal networkyou can put the RH cd in the drive start
up, and do a:
linux text telnet
At the boot prompt.
Assuming your nic is supported it will grab a ip from the dhcp server, and
you will have to ping around and find the ip it has taken.
Then, with the other box you can telnet to the box, and read the setup."
sincerely,
Patrick

Hi, Lorenzo. That is correct Red Hat can be installed over a telnet 
connection. Here is a simple walk through on how it is done.

1. Put in the Red Hat CD or floppy, and boot up on it.
2. At the boot prompt enter a command such as:
text telnet
3. The install will attempt to capture a broadcast address from your dhcp 
server. Which you can ping, and once you know the ip you are set.
4. do a command like:
telnet ip-address
where ip-address is the ip address the RH setup has taken.
5. Finally, the setup should be on your screen, and you can install via 
telnet.

You should keep in mind your nic should be Linux compatible, the computer 
doing the install needs to have some place to get an
address from, etc.

Re: telnet installation of Redhat

[Lorenzo Prince]

My server computer is connected to the internet through a cable modem.  My
laptop where I will be installing RH is connected to the server conputer.
As far as I know, the only DHCP server is through my ISP.  Is there a DHCP
server I can put on my server so my laptop can grab an IP address from it?

Re: telnet installation of Redhat

You need a second network card in your server computer and you need to set
up dhcpd to work on that card.  It involves editing a file called
/etc/dhcpd.conf and starting up the daemon.  I haven't messed with it much
since I only have one computer, but did play with it briefly on another
computer several years ago, so my recollection is hazy.

K. How? Over a cross-over cable? Via a hub? Does that laptop you want to
install RH9 on connect to yourserver over TCP/IP? How? What address does
it have? And what netmask?

As you see, "connect" has many meanings.
More details would help.

Re: telnet installation of Redhat

[Lorenzo Prince]

The laptop is connected via a crossover cable to the server in a second
nic whose address is 10.1.1.1.  The netmask for this nic is 255.255.255.0.
The address of my laptop is normally 10.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0.
However, this is configured by /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 on a slackware system I
currently have installed.  The RH9 CD would naturally bypass this script.

Re: telnet installation of Redhat

[Janina Sajka]

So, these are static ip addresses? If so, then you need to run dhcpd on
your server which is config'd via a file in /etc.

Or, is your server running dhcpd and simply assigning the same address
every time? In which case you're good to go. You'd merely ping
10.0.0.255 per the telnet instructions.

Hi Janina,

Given the addresses and netmasks, wouldn't he ping 10.1.1.255?

Re: telnet installation of Redhat

[Luke Davis]

If the idea is to ping the broadcast address to see who answers, then
10.1.1.255 would be the correct address.

Thanks, Darrell. My mistake. You are correct.

Re: telnet installation of Redhat

[Darrell Shandrow]

Hi Janina,

OK, that's no problem.  We all do that from time to time.  :-)  Now, I'm
going to ask a related question.  I have a router that I'm also using as a
DHCP server.  There are a couple of clients that receive their IP address
info from it.  Its inside IP address is 192.168.1.1 and the broadcast for
the subnet is 192.168.1.255.  When I ping 192.168.1.255, it is just a
regular broadcast ping, but I don't get pings from any other IP addresses.
Any ideas?

Re: telnet installation of Redhat

[Janina Sajka]

Here's how to use telnet to install Red Hat 9. Of course you need two
computers to do this. I will refer to the machine where Red Hat 9 is
being installed as the target system. I will refer to the other computer
as the control system.

1.)	Obtain RH 9 either on media, or as ISO images. You may install
from the iso images if you can put them on a partition on the target
system that you will not be formatting during your installation.

2.)	Boot the installation on the target system using either floppy
disks or the first installation CD ROM. At the boot> prompt type:

	text telnet

		If you're using floppy disks, you may need more than one
		disk in order to get all the drivers the installation
		will require. In that case you would type the following
		at the boot> prompt:

	text dd telnet

		You will not have speech during this process. You need
		to monitor disk activity to know when to take the next
		action. The pause at the boot> prompt is short--only 10
		seconds by default, though you can edit that value by
		editing the syslinux.cfg file on your boot media. You
		press enter twice while swapping floppy disks.

3.)	When the last of your boot media stops, press TAB once and then
press ENTER.

4.)	At this point you've finished working on the target system and
can switch to the control system.
5.)	Ping the broadcast address of your network to discover the
address assigned to your target system.

6.)	Telnet to the address of the target system and proceed with the
Red Hat installation.

Note that lengthy paragraphs can be written about step 5. I'll assume
you know how to do step 5 unless you ask for help with that.

Additional installation help is available in the HOWTO at:

http://www.linux-speakup.org/ftp/disks/redhat/HOWTO_INSTALL.html

which will contain the telnet process when we update it for Red Hat 9.
Also, consult Red Hat's excellent online documentation at:

http://www.redhat.com/support/resources/howto/rhl9.html

Hi Janina,

Is there no way to hard-code a static IP address on the target?

Re: telnet installation of Redhat

[Lorenzo Prince]

I couldn't seem to find any way to hard-code an IP address on the target,
but I was able to setup DHCPD so that it would only assigh the IP address
I wanted.  I simply coded the subnet as 10.1.1.0 and under that I told it
to assign IP addresses in the range 10.1.1.2 to 10.1.1.2.  Making both of
these numbers the same ensures that I ALWAYS get the same IP address of
10.1.1.2 on the target when doing a telnet install of RH9 co I don't even
have to ping the broadcast address to find out which IP dhcpd gave it.

Re: telnet installation of Redhat

[Patrick Turnage]

Hello
Let me explain my LAN and my setup, I will also post the revelient portions
of my dhcpd.conf
I have Linux as a gateway
eth0 10.0.0.1/24 or 255.255.255.0
I have a Windows XP machine
10.0.0.2/24
Windows 2000 pro
10.0.0.3/24
then I have a notebook and my gf's notebook that grab the address for dhcp,
also the other statically assigned machines get their info from the dhcp
server and I match by mac address.
You asked why not just statically assign those IP addresses? Well once I
needed to update the DNS information because the DNS server I was using
went down, now rather than go to each machine, I just changed the
dhcpd.conf file and reloaded dhcpd.
here is my dhcpd.conf file from Debian 3.0.
After you define all the other information you add this to the bottom.

host xp
{
hardware ethernet 00:08:A1:13:35:6C;
fixed-address 10.0.0.2;
}
host 2kpro
{
hardware ethernet 00:04:5A:72:f7:51;
fixed-address 10.0.0.3;
}

Hi Greg,

I'm trying to setup a lan that does the same thing you were talking about.
I want to have my dhcp server statically assign ip's to some boxes and
dynamic ones to others.  could you send me a copy of your dhcpd.conf file?
Thx.

Why not just staticly configure those machines, so they don't bother with
the DHCP server; and just set up static routes for them?

Bc it's easier to switch between two networks.  like when I hook my laptop
up to my home lan I want it to have a statically assigned ip, and at
school I nget a dynamic IP

I'd look to see your dhcpd.conf. Sounds like this would be something
useful to know.

There have been some good solutions here about discovering one's
address. Interesting reads tonight.

Re: telnet installation of Redhat

[Janina Sajka]

Hi, Darrell:

Well, I understand there's supposed to be, but when I first ran mine,
Bill told me he had never been able to get a static to respond. So, I
just ran dhcp because I could, and I needed to get an installation
accomplished. So, I've not looked into it myself.

RE: telnet installation of Redhat

[Dawes, Stephen]

HHHMMM:

It sounds like you are depending on a dhcp server to assign the ip
address of the computer that you are wanting to install RH9 on. If this
is the case, you better have access to a dhcp server either running on
your local network, or else through your isp. If it is local, then the
ping thing is not necessary. All you need to do is read the last entry
or 2 in the message file:
tail /var/log/messages
to get the assign ip address.

Just what I know from experience.
