This tutorial will demonstrate how you can install RHEL/CentOS 8/7, using an FTP server (vsftpd) as Network Source. This allows you to install RHEL/CentOS Linux on multiple machines from a single source point, using a minimal ISO image on the machines you perform installation and the extracted binary DVD ISO mounted on the FTP server path, on the server machine that holds the source tree.
For this to work, you must already have an installation of RHEL/CentOS 8/7 on a machine attached to your network, but you can, also, use other RHEL/CentOS versions, or even other Linux distributions with an FTP, HTTP or NFS server installed and functional, that you will mount RHEL/CentOS binary DVD ISO image, but this guide will concentrate on RHEL/CentOS 8/7 with Vsftpd server only.
