From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312 Description of problem: Documentation said 'Hard drive installations require a working Linux system installed and the use of ISO (or CD-ROM) images rather than the entire installation tree. Hard drive installations only work from ext2 or ext3 file systems.' I suppose that this statement is not complete. It should be better to write here something like ' ext2/ext3 or vfat '. In chapter '4.6. Installing from a Hard Drive' is shown that HD-method is available also for VFAT partitions. I think author means that 'dd' command is available in Linux and file system will be formatted as ext2 or ext3. The case of shared partition between Linux and other OS is missing here. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhel-ig-x8664-multi(EN)-3-HTML-RHI (2003-07-25T17:10) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open RHEL 3 Installation Guide 2. Look at first paragraph of Chapter 2.7 3. Additional info:
Thanks for the feedback. VFAT has been added to the list of supported file systems for hard drive installations. This change will be reflected in the next release of the installation guide. Thanks again!
