i suppose the idea of using a different network card just for the install
process and switching the network card later is not an option...
i did transfer a kernel image over serial line once -- i had this competing
w/ transfer by floppies using dpkg-split. floppy transfer won :-)
this wasn't what you were looking for, i presume...
