Question
185: You want to practice network installations. To do so, set up an HTTP installation server on a Linux computer using the instructions described earlier in this chapter. These instructions also work if you want to create an FTP installation server on Fedora Core. If you don't have another Linux computer, you can set up an HTTP server on Microsoft Windows 2000/XP Professional/2003/Vista for this purpose. For the purpose of this exercise, assume that you've been asked to install a Samba server and a print server, and you will need to recompile the kernel.
Explanation
Answers: As described earlier in this chapter, the standard Red Hat HTTP server is Apache. The default location for download files is the /var/www/html directory. You'll want to specify a subdirectory to copy the files from the root directory of the installation CDs. As this is a book on RHEL, I do not describe the steps needed to create an alternative HTTP server on a Microsoft Windows computer.
