I am seeking some guidance here.
I have just acquired a nice little box on the cheap, a Celeron 500,
128Mb, 6.4GB HD with built in ethernet and a floppy, but no CD drive.
This will be my mucking around box. The HD currently has nothing on it.
I am wanting to install linux onto the system and though I could
temorarily put a CD drive in it to perform the install I would rather
take this opportunity to work out how to install over the network.
I have a 10/100 router which connects to my primary PC running RHL which
holds the ISO's.
What do I need to do to get a suitable bootable floppy, connect to the
network and then run and install over the network?
So where do I start??
Thanks, Rob.
