Re: a new beginning & internet install
If you copy the disk images for the frozen/potato distribution, you will
end up with kernel 2.2.17 and you can select dhcp in initial
configuration. I just did this, you need the rescue, root, and 3 driver
disks for a total of 5 disks. Worked great for me.
good luck
