6. Copy Alma Linux Distribution Data

Download ISO

The Alma Linux ISO image that we will be using can be downloaded from https://repo.almalinux.org/almalinux/10/isos/x86_64_v2/AlmaLinux-10.1-x86_64_v2-dvd.iso. But to make it faster we have created a local mirror. You can download it with wget to the master node.
```
[root@master ~]# dnf install wget
[root@master ~]# wget http://172.16.6.5/AlmaLinux-10.1-x86_64_v2-dvd.iso
```
Mount ISO

We need to extract the contents of that ISO image to a folder. Mount the ISO as loopback device into a folder, e.g. /mnt/iso.
```
# mount ISO image
[root@master ~]# mkdir -p /mnt/iso
[root@master ~]# mount AlmaLinux-10.1-x86_64_v2-dvd.iso /mnt/iso
```
Copy contents to folder

Copy the contents of your mounted directory to a folder hosted by HTTP server, such as /var/www/html/AlmaLinux-10.1-x86_64_v2.
```
[root@master ~]# cp -r /mnt/iso/ /var/www/html/AlmaLinux-10.1-x86_64_v2
```
Copy Alma Linux installer kernel and initrd file for PXE boot

The ISO includes a kernel and initrd file which can be used for PXE booting via network. Copy these files into an alma10 folder in the TFTP root directory /var/lib/tftpboot/.
```
[root@master ~]# mkdir -p /var/lib/tftpboot/alma10/
[root@master ~]# cp /mnt/iso/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz /var/lib/tftpboot/alma10/
[root@master ~]# cp /mnt/iso/images/pxeboot/initrd.img /var/lib/tftpboot/alma10/
```
Unmount ISO

Finally unmount the ISO image.
```
[root@master ~]# umount /mnt/iso
```
