[ale] Network Install

[maltzen at mm.com (Gary Maltzen)]

RedHat (for example) can be installed over the net; I've done it many times
(although it works better when I have a local FTP source).

You can download and rawrite the two 1.44 floppy images, boot the install
and switch to the PCMCIA root and select your favorite FTP site as the
install source.

Find a suitable mirror

  http://www.redhat.com/download/mirror.html

then from directory redhat-6.0/i386/images download

  bootnet.img
  pcmcia.img

rawrite/dd these to floppy, boot the bootnet floppy and follow the
instructions...
