Re: [LI] Installing linux on network

[root <root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I dont thing the procedure is that damn long..;) .. 
u can do nfs/ftp/http installation of 6.1 ...
create a boot floppy from the image bootnet.img by 

dd if=boonet.img of=/dev/fd0 or u can use rawrite ..

mount the cd in remote machine as

mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

now add the line in /etc/exports

/mnt/cdrom *(ro)

and restart the nfs server .. 

now go to the machine where u want to install. 
insert the bootfloppy .. change in bios to boot from floppy ..
u will be required to configure ur network card first .. 
now u will be given three options nfs,ftp and http . choose nfs

then u have to give the ip no of the machine where u have the cdrom
mounted .. and in the path field give /mnt/cdrom . .rest is as usual ..
good luck Vivek .. Stable??I didnt like this question..:)
