Looking for a HOW-TO to ftp install linux

[Joel Dudley]

I just did exactly what you are talking about over our T-1, it was pretty
slick.  Anyway, use rawrite to make a boot floppy with the bootnet.img and
boot with that disk.  Select to install from FTP and you are on your way.
You need to know the name of a fast RedHat mirror beforehand though.
