⁠13.2. Setting Up the Distribution

To set up a distribution from a full Fedora DVD or ISO image, use this procedure.

Network Locations

To create a local mirror from an existing network source, skip this section and refer instead to Section 13.3, “Mirroring a Network Location”.

If you are using a DVD disc or ISO image, Create a directory mount point:
```
mkdir /mnt/dvd
```
To mount a physical DVD disc, use the following command:
```
mount -o context=system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd
```
To mount a DVD ISO image, use the following command:
```
mount -ro loop,context=system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 /path/to/image.iso /mnt/dvd
```
If SELinux enabled, use the default label
If SELinux is enabled, use the default iso9660_t label instead of httpd_sys_content_t.
To support NFS installation, create a file /etc/exports and add the following line to it:
```
/mnt/dvd *(ro,async)
```
Start the NFS server using the following commands:
```
systemctl start rpcbind
systemctl start nfs
```
To support HTTP installation, use yum to install the Apache web server if it is not already installed:
```
yum -y install httpd
```
Make a link to the mounted disc in the Apache public content area:
```
ln -s /mnt/dvd /var/www/html/distro
```
