5.4 Installing via HTTP

You should now be looking at the ``HTTP Setup'' dialog box. Here's where you point the installation program at the HTTP site of your choice. Enter the name or IP address of the HTTP site you are installing from, and the name of the directory there which contains the RedHat directory for your architecture. For example, if the HTTP site contains the directory
/pub/mirrors/redhat/i386/RedHat, enter /pub/mirrors/redhat/i386. If you are not using anonymous HTTP, or if you need to use a proxy HTTP server (if you're behind a firewall, for example), check the check box, and another dialog box will request the HTTP account and proxy information.

If everything has been specified properly, you should see a message box indicating that
base/hdlist is being retrieved.
