In addition to installing directly from the physical Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 installation media (in the form of a DVD) it is also possible to perform a network based RHEL installation whereby the installation image is installed on a remote server and downloaded in packages to the destination computer system during installation. RHEL 6 currently supports network installation via HTTP, FTP and NFS. For the purposes of this tutorial we will focus on the use of HTTP (in other words the installation image is available via a web server on a remote host) though the concepts are largely the same for the other network installation options.
