Re: can one use the floppy install to get to the minimal bootable CD to do a Network install?

If you have a Sarge netinst CD, I believe there's a "ubm.bin" (or
something) that you can write to a floppy. Boot from that, it'll ask
you what to do, choose boot CD. The Sarge netinst can do the rest.
ubm.bin is in one of the Sarge CD's top level directories.
