HOW TO INSTALL RHEL6 IN A PC

Hi Students,
                    So today we are planning to to install RHEL6 on a machine,but firstly i would like to update you all that the hardware requirement for RHEL-6 is totally different from RHEL-5.So firstly we see what is the hardware requirement for RHEL-6:-
  •  Memory Requirement for X86  Architecture:-
    Minimum RAM for Text mode >> 384MB
    Minimum RAM for Gui mode >> 400MB
    Recommended  RAM for Gui(graphical installation)  >> 512MB
    • CPU Requirement For X86 Architecture :-
    Virtualization Technology(VT) supported Processors should use to go for RHEL6 with Virtualization support.
    Core2duo with VT support,iCore3,iCore5,iCore7,Dell Vostro supports RHEL6 with Virtualization support.



    Note:- >> If you have only 64 bit machine i.e core2 duo or any other 64 bit machine without VT support so you can only install RHEL-6 but you cannot install KVM(Kernal Virtual Machine) in RHEL-6 if you have no VT support in your Processor.

    1. Hi, I've tried to install RHEL6 with iso "rhel-server-6.1-i386-dvd" on a VirtualBox guest with 384MB of RAM, as I am trying the server without any desktop for now; but during the installation process the process complains that 384 MB of RAM is not enough. Do you have any hint about this?

      Thanks in advance.
