Identify Disk Partition to Install From

You'll see the Select Partition screen (Figure 8-6) only if you are installing from a disk partition (that is, only if you selected Hard Disk in the Installation Method dialog). This dialog allows you to name the disk partition you are installing from.

Figure 8-6. Selecting Partition for Hard Drive Install

Enter the device name of the partition containing the RedHat directory tree. There is also a field labelled "Directory holding Red Hat:." If the RedHat directory is not in the root directory of that partition, enter the path to the RedHat directory (for example, /test/new/RedHat).

After you've identified the disk partition, you'll next see the Welcome dialog: go to the section called Welcome.
