I thought these boot stuff was being worked on... Oh, well, I'll
give it a try.

Basically, you put the base system floppies on the NFS server,
presumably with some of the drivers as well (or did you just reconfigure the
installation procedure so that the only drivers it would look for were the
ones in the three drivers disks you created?). Is this correct?

I don't understand this. Do you mean stable or unstable? The stable
version has a 2.0 kernel which won't like the Athlon. So. would I need to have
the stable disks and make them boot off an Athlon aware kernel? That is, get
the disks you mention in your message from unstable, and then have the
installation procedure from stable. X-? I'm a bit confused.
Thanks a lot for your help, we'll see how it goes when it gets
delivered... :)
