FTP Install

[Tony Hammitt]

No, but I've done several NFS installs.  It helps to have a spare linux box
laying around.  If you do, I'd highly recommend it to, say, trying to install
over a cable modem directly.  If you lose your connection, you could be in
big trouble.  Whereas if you start by downloading the CD image, the most you
could lose is a little time restarting the download.

I think that there's also a 'local disk' installation method, but it would
require that you don't intend to format the partition the image is in...

Basically, I think NFS is about the cleanest install method, as well as the
cheapest since there's nothing to buy or burn (just a floppy..).  If you're
having trouble getting CDs or anything, come to the next meeting.  We're
having an installfest.  I'll be bringing RH6.2 and Mdk7.1 CDs.

Later,

Tony Hammitt
