Planning to setup a new environment in Linux server and migrate everything from Windows server. Please clarify the following order of installation.

1. Install BI 4.2 SP3 in first linux box

2. Install BI 4.2 SP3 software in second linux box.

3. Cluster the servers

4. Setup load balancing

5.Setup LDAP configuration

6.Execute Disaster recovery by copying repository db to new db and point cms to this db.

7. Copying FRS to new server FRS folder

1 and 2 gives you 3 already if done correctly.
#4 - which load balancing you have in mind here ?
#6 - its not that easy. I would not attempt this part until you're familiar with how BOE clusters work.

Review Pattern books, as they have a lot of what you're planning covered in real life examples. :
