2. Mount the DVD drive

Insert the Server Assistant program DVD into the DVD drive, and then execute the following command:

Example
# mount -t iso9660 -r -o loop /dev/dvd /media/dvd

Here /dev/dvd is the device name for the DVD drive (which may vary depending on your environment), and /media/dvd is the mount point (which may need to be created before calling the command).

If the DVD was mounted automatically using the automatic mount daemon (autofs), "noexec" is set as the mount option, so the installer may fail to start. In this case, use the mount command to remount the DVD correctly, and then run the installation. Note that the mount options of a mounted DVD can be checked by executing the mount command without any arguments.

3. Run the installation

Execute the following command:

Example
# cd /media/dvd
# ./install.sh

In the example above, /media/dvd is the DVD mount point.
