Hi, All,

I'm very happy to see many people try to help, and want to describe
why i have such kind of questions

As all knows,  redhat 8 was announced available serveral days ago, and
i got the DVD iso, and i want to have a try
(for myself i use debian on my pc, but enterprise customs use RHEL/CentOS/SLES )

And i managed  to install it from harddisk

But i'm lazy
1. i don't want extract files from iso
2. i don't want to cp *.iso /dev/sdb  (dd )to destroy my data on USB
stick to make it as install media
3. I have grub
4. i have a spare partition on my PC (say /dev/sda9) to install it

Can we do that?
We have a solution for debian, as mentioned, use hd-media (vmlinuz,
initrd.gz with iso-scan)   in step 2 , so it's not a really a problem

But this should have share the  common ground in installation, isn't?

That's why i post my question here.

FYI
