Installation Red Hat Enterprise & make standered partition

• First of all select DVD and reboot your computer.

• After Booting from DVD you will get below screen. Select Install or Upgrade an Existing System and press Enter.
• If you get the following screen then let Anaconda take another step.

• Select your preferred Language and Select Keyboard Layout.

In Following Screen you will be able to see 4 Installation Methods, Let me explain Methods here:-

• Local CD/DVD – It is obvious that If you use CD/DVD media then Choose this option.
• 
  
• 
  
• Hard Drive – Select this if you have dumped your source into any other Linux partition.
• NFS Directory – You can select this option if you have configured NFS server.
• URL – Select this if you want to install using FTP or HTTP Source link.

So for step by step installation of RHEL 6 I had Local CD/DVD Installation Method.
If you are not sure about your media then select OK to verify else select Skip.

• If your media is fine till now it will take you to the Graphical Installation Screen of RHEL 6 Installation.  Please wait for few minutes after getting following screen

• Now you can see  the first screen after Getting GUI Installation Wizard as follow Click on NEXT to Continue…
• Because we are installating Beta Release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux you will get warning of pre-release version. Have a look at following screen….

• Now, For installating RHEL there is two storage options are available Let me explain bit…..
• Basic Storage Devices – Select this if you are installation on Local Hard disk or some local Storage
• Specialized Storage Devices -  Select this if you are installing on SAN ( Storage Area Network ) or DASD ( Direct Access Storage Devices)

• Don’t worry if you don’t get following step, because if your Hard disk is blank then only you will get following screen.

• Set your Hostname here. Remember FQDN hostname is always preferable (i.e. rhel-serve.linuxsoftwares.com) and Click Next on Configure Network and Configure your Network by Editing Ethernet Cards.. Select Time Zone and set  root Password here.

• Now Create Custom Layout because if you have windows already installed then please select  Create Custom Layout and  click on NEXT.

• I have blank Hard Disk now, So If you have also got Blank Hard Disk then you will get screen like below :-
• Here we’ll create only Three Most required Partitions….. You can create as per your requirement.  Now we will start creating partition………
• Let’s create boot partition first. Click on Create -> Select Standard Partition, Enter /boot as Mount Point, EnterSize 500MB, and Keep all information as it is, Click on OK.

• Now let’s create swap partition Click on Create -> Select Standard Partition, Select Swap as File system Type,Enter size 2000 (it should be double than RAM) Click on OK.. Now create root partition. Click on Create -> Select Standard Partition, Enter / as Mount Point, Select Fill to maximum allowable size and Click on OK.. Now if everything is perfectly fine then you will jump to formatting screen to Format all your partition which you have created, here if you are not sure then reboot your system without clicking on anything. If sure then click on Write Changes to disk.

You can download RHEL 6 Beta from here and make a DVD of it Click Here

Note: 

Possible Sizes For Your Partitions

• /boot – usually don’t need more than 200Mb but disk space is cheap so give it 500Mb (0.5Gb).
• (swap) – depends on amount of RAM, but for modern system with lots of RAM, make it the same size as the amount of RAM you have (e.g. 2Gb RAM – 2Gb swap)
• /home – this one depends on how you plan to use the system, how many users you plan to have and the kind of work they plan to do. It is hard to give a guide for this one, however for a single heavy user (lots of data in home directory), you can plan anywhere between 20Gb – 100Gb or more.
• /usr – depends on how many packages you plan to install on your system. For standard number of packages plan around 4Gb, for lots of packages anywhere up to 20Gb or more. For a regular home system, 20Gb should be plenty.
• /usr/local – once again depends on how many packages you plan to install, but as disk space is cheap, for a regular home system you can make this one the same size as /usr.
• /opt – similar situation as /usr and /usr/local here, make it the same size as the other two.
• /var – if you don’t plan to run many severs this doesn’t need to be too big, so around 2Gb should be enough. If you do plan to run a few servers, this may need to be much bigger (depending on what servers you plan to run). Use your judgment here and remember that disk space is not expensive. To give yourself some future flexibility make this one around 20Gb.
• /tmp – once again depends on how you plan to use your system (yeah I know, it always depends :)). This one is normally less important, give it around 10Gb.
• / (root) – it is always a good idea to create the root partition last. Since this partition will contain all the data which you decide not to put in a partition of it’s own, the size required can change drastically. If everything else has it’s own partition then this doesn’t need to be much bigger than 2Gb or so. However, if you decide not to have a separate partition for something else, you will need to increase the size of this partition accordingly.
