Installing RHEL 5.1 on VirtualBox

Post by tkn1111 »

Hi,

When trying to install RHEL 5.1 on a Virtual Box installation, below question is driving me crazy:

"What type of media contains the packages to be
installed"

Any option chosen (CDROM, Harddisk, FTP, HTTP) does not work.

I can boot my RHEL ISO DVD, but when getting prompted for above and chosing CDROM, it cant find the "Enterprise Linux CD" - maybe something with the CROM settings, but I have googled and done trial-and-error based on this info, but it has not gotten me anywhere.

Also tried FTP - using updates.redhat.com, and then inserting /pub/mirrors/redhat/I386_ as path to directory (based on Google info).

Can anyone help me out of this mess?

Best regards
Thomas Nielsen
