2. After several intermediate dialogs (such as a dialog indicating that the usb-storage driver is being loaded), you'll see the dialog in Figure 5-13 to select testing of the CD media. For this example installation, the Tab key is used to select Skip, followed by pressing the Space bar. Figure 5-13 The CD media test is skipped in this installation NOTE: Performing a media test with remotely mounted media can add a significant amount of time to the installation. 3. Next you'll see a number of messages, such as "Running anaconda, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux system installer -- please wait...." Because the RHEL 4 installation media is remotely mounted, the installation process proceeds more slowly than when the installation media is mounted directly to the blade workstation. IMPORTANT: In the following steps, the iLO 2 Remote Console creates a cursor (iLO 2 cursor) that is separate from the cursor on your Local Computer (the local cursor). As you'll see, the iLO 2 cursor, which is the active cursor in the Remote Console window, does not closely track the local cursor. Back and forth movement of the local cursor may cause the two cursors to become better aligned. In any case, you'll need to move the local cursor in order to position the iLO 2 cursor over the interface item to be selected in the Remote Console window. Once RHEL 4 installation is complete, and after you log in as root, you'll have the option of installing a mouse driver that fixes the local cursor/iLO 2 cursor tracking problem for the subsequent installation steps. Installation of this mouse driver is described in Section 5-4, "Optional: Installing the HP iLO 2 High-Performance Mouse for Linux." 4. After several minutes, the Welcome to Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS screen is displayed (see Figure 5-14). Use your local cursor to position the iLO 2 cursor over Next, and click the left mouse button.

IMPORTANT:
In the following steps, the iLO 2 Remote Console creates a cursor (
