to install from a hard drive. Two text entry boxes for
hard drive partition and hard drive directory appear. Hard
drive installations require the use of ISO (or CD-ROM) images. Be
sure to verify that the ISO images are intact before you start the
installation. To verify them, use an <TT

>md5sum</TT
>
program as well as the <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>linux mediacheck</TT
> boot
option.
Enter the hard drive partition that contains the ISO images

> text box, and enter the directory that
