I have run into problems when trying to do an FTP install of RH6.0 from an LAN where TCP/IP is configured by DHCP from an NT4.0 server. The following is my system profile: PII 350 Intel EtherExpress PRO/100+ PCI ethernet card Built in Adaptec 7880 scsi controller Quantum 3.2 SCSI hard-drive ATAPI IDE cdrom When trying to use the bootnet.img file included with the standard 6.0 distribution, the installer gave an error along the lines of "inappropriate server response" after the dialog box where the FTP server name and directory is entered.(I did check that I had the correct directory ie. .../i386/RedHat (this is the right directory, right?)) After cheking the redhat errata site, I downloaded the May 16th version of image disks (on May 17th at 6:00 PM eastern time), created the suggested bootnet.img, supp.img, and modules.img floppies and tried again using "linux supp" at the boot prompt. The installation program identified my ethernet card fine, but when I selected DHCP as the method of configuration for TCP/IP, the program crashed, overwriting the blue installation screen with a message the the process had recieved a sig 11, and the system the proceeded into a halt. I think I will try to get a copy of it on CD.
I was unable to replicate the problem that you reported. There is some problemswith obtaining DHCP information from a Windows NT box that is known and will be fixed with the next release of the bootnet images soon. Pump (the new dhcp client does not receive all info properly from NT) could cause some problems and there is an update rpm at ftp://updates.redhat.com that will allow proper DHCP after install. During the test install I was able to get at least the IP address from the NT server and after filling in all the rest of the info by hand, I was able to do an FTP install from a Linux ftp server with no difficulty.
