Installing Red Hat Linux using Graphical User Interface (GUI)

Installing any LINUX system is as easy as installing Window's system, you can install Linux system using following instruction. 

You need to make a LINUX copy boot able:

  1. To get a RHEL 6 copy click here. An .iso copy will start downloading, save that file and follow 2nd step.
  2. To make that .iso file boot able, download and run YUMI ( a freeware software to make boot able disk). Onscreen instruction will be provided to use YUMI on that link.

After booting from USB/ CD follow following instruction.

  • Select Install or upgrade an existing system option on Grub Menu.


  • System will promote for a disk check ( if you wish you can click ok but I will prefer to skip this test).


  • Click Next on screen.


  • Choose a language option. ( I will prefer English, as i didn't knew any other :-D)


  • Choose your Keyboard type.


  • Select Storage Device ( am I choosing Basic Storage Device).




  • You may need to RE-INITIALIZE your disk ( this will delete all of your data from drive/disk). If you igonor this warning then you may stuck at a later step.




  • Choose a Host Name ( this will need to identifies your computer on network).




  • Choose your Time Zone and also don't forgot to synchronize it with NTP.



  • Setup a password for your root user/ superuser. ( It must be atleast 6 character in length)




  • Select a type of installation ( I am choosing Replace Existing Linux System(s) ).




  • Verify your option of installation and click on Write changes to disk ( or go back if you need to review them ). 
  • Default setup with ext4 and LVM looks good for desktop machine.



  •  Configure boot loader options.
Select device to install boot loader and check/create boot loader operating system list.


  • Select software's to install and enable repositories
    This case we select Software Development Workstation and enable Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 Beta Repository and select Customize now.

  • Customize package selection.
Select PHP and Web Server to installation.
Select MySQL and PostgreSQL Databases
Select set of Development tools like Eclipse IDE.
  • Click Next after all above steps.

  • Checking dependencies for installation.
  • Starting installation process.


  • Installation is complete - Click reboot computer and remove installation media.



Congratulation's our installation of RHEL 6 is completed. After rebooting follow following steps to prepare system for first time use.

  • Selecting RHEL 6 from grub.
  • Red Hat 6 Welcome screen is shown and click on Forward tab.

  • Carefully read License Information and agree with it ( also let me know what the hell is written on License Information,  as I am a kind of lazy person so didn't read that :p ).




  • Again select Forward tab.



  • Create a normal user.



  • Select date and time, synchronize it with NTP.



  • Click Finish.


Hurrrrray, you just install RHEL 6 OS on your system.

A welcome screen is shown ( see how pretty it was..... <3 ).
