Before you can use Red Hat High Availability Server, you must first install Red Hat Linux. The following chapters will guide you through this process.
This chapter describes features that are new to the Red Hat Linux 6.2 graphical installation process. To learn about non-installation-related new features, please refer to the Official Red Hat Linux Reference Guide.
Improvements to Red Hat Linux 6.2 which will make installation even easier include:
Previously available only in expert mode, fdisk has been added to the GUI installation. You can now choose to partition with Disk Druid or fdisk, depending on your level of skill and personal preference.
New and improved options make using the rescue disk even more powerful than before. Improvements include mtools and RAID tools, and pico as the new default editor.
New to kickstart installations is the ability to configure RAID.
New to the installation program is the ability to perform RAID upgrades.
ATAPI Zip drives are now recognized by the installation program and automatically configured to use SCSI emulation. If you add an ATAPI Zip drive after the installation, the hardware recognition program kudzu will recognize it once you reboot your system. The installation program will also create device files for Jaz drives as well.
