A couple of posters have mentioned a network install. Where are the
details spelled out? Are we talking installing from a running
machine? Already network enabled? My situation is that I have 2
desktops before me. A full well used redhat 7.1 on one machine and A
solaris x86 on another. The solaris (intel) has a second disk that
had a skeleton install of Redhat on it before I began my adventures.
I wanted to install Woody in its place. So with a network install how
would I proceed? I mean in general. Not a detailed account. I'll
find and read any documentation I need. Pointers would be nice though.
I wouldn't mind the install being very basic for quite some time.
Long as it is network ready. Don't really care about X either. At
least not immediately.
