METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INSTALLING AN OPERATING SYSTEM VIA A NETWORK

摘要

A system and method for handling network interface error during operating system installation on a client device by an installation server via a network is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes determining available network interface modules in the client device when a request for an installation of the OS is forwarded by the client device, initiating the installation of the OS using a first network interface module of the available network interface modules, switching to a second network interface module of the available network interface modules when the first network interface module becomes inoperable due to an error, and continuing the installation of the OS on the client device using the second network interface module. The method further includes downloading the probe module from the installation server to the client device using a default connection between the installation server and the client device.
