How to install Linux Operating System.

Dear friends, most of the people know how to install Windows Operating System , but doesn't know Linux. Here I am describing how to install Redhat Enterprise Linux server. This is the same step you can follow to install most of the Unix based OS.


Before start check the system requirements.
Both Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 4 and 5 on 32-bit and 64-bit platforms have the same system requirements, as listed here:

CPU Type	Pentium 3 or higher; 500MHz or higher
Memory/RAM	256 MB minimum
Hard Disk	200 MB of disk space minimum for a typical deployment  4 GB minimum for very large environments (more than a million entries)

So let us start.


Insert Linux DVD into the DVD tray. Reboot the computer.You will receive the following screen.

                                         press "Enter" key. The system will start graphic mode of installation.

       Select "Skip" option. If you want to check the DVD/CD you can press "OK"

                                                                     Press "Next"

                                                         Select the language "English"

                                                    Select the keyboard "U.S English"

Select skip entering installation number and press "OK"

                                          Select "create custom layout"and press "Next"

From this page select mount point "/" , file system "ext3" and enter the size (for the proper working of the Operating system, better to give atleast 10000MB)

                                                                I have given 15GB.

Next you need to create another partition called "swap" (the virtual memory partition ). It should be double the size of your RAM.        ie, if the RAM size is 1GB give swap partition size to 2GB.

Select grub boot loader as shown in the picture.

 Select the automatic DHCP option

Select Asia/Calcutta

Type the root password. This is the password and user name you need to give after the installation, to login to the computer.

Select customize option and tick on  all needed software.

Choose "Next"

This time your partition is formatting with the choosen ext3 file system. After that the installation will begin automatically. Your computer will reboot when the process completes.

Ok.Now you installed Redhat Linux in your computer. This is the login window. Here you need to give the username as root and the root password.
