4.3.3. Mounting the Installation Media
Once you have obtained a version of the Red Hat Satellite 5 installation media, mount the disc or ISO image on the Satellite host.
Procedure 4.19. Mounting from a disc
- Log into the machine as
root. - Insert the Red Hat Satellite Server CD or DVD containing the installation files.
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux might automount the disc. If so, it mounts the disc to the
/media/cdrom/directory. If Red Hat Enterprise Linux does not automount the disc, manually mount it to the/media/cdrom/directory with the following command:# mkdir /media/cdrom # mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
Procedure 4.20. Mounting from an ISO image
- Log into the host as
root. - Mount the ISO image to a location on your filesystem:
# mkdir /media/cdrom # mount -o loop iso_filename /media/cdrom
The installation media is mounted at
/media/cdrom/. Use this location to access the Red Hat Satellite installation program.
