Hello, listers!
I sort of read about this, but would like a word of support. I am attempting
to install Linux on a computer that doesn't have CD-Rom but does have a
Network card. How would I go about installing Linux from a network CDROM
onto that computer?
Let's see, if I download Speakup boot disks with network support, how would
I actually configure the card to the right IP and mount the CDROM on the
other computer?
Regards,
Vic

Hi Vic
You will need to decide if you are going to do an nfs install or a ftp
install. Or an http install in the case of debian. Each distribution
deels with network installation just a bit differently. So what
distribution are you wanting to install?
Most of the distributions have concise README files to get you up and
running. So rtfm...
If you have any problems with the installation I would be glad to give you
a hand. I think that you are going to find it a breeze.

Hello Listers:
Does anyone have a adaptech scsi card that they could sell or trade?
I have lynux installed on a 386 PC and found that the trantor card that I
have isn't supported. So, I am looking for a scsi card that I can use.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Anyone know where I can get one
online?
Thanks:
******* Mickey Quenzer *******

You'd use a distribution that can do an nfs install and export the cdrom out from
another Linux box. I do this all the time when installing onto the sparc.
the Sparc's network card is faster than the onboard scsi drive in the thing :-)

Kerry, but what for? If Redhat supports FTP/HTTP installations? It's really
much easier.

No it's not.
A 1 line addition to /etc/exports of
/cdrom 192.168.1.*(ro)
and a restart of the nfs services is easier than figuring out the anonymous
permitions required to get ftp to go properly. NFS also lets clients seek on
a file rather than having them pull the whole thing down to their local hdd
before operating on it. NFS is also capable of recovering from a server
reboot in the middle of an install, since it uses udp the
connections are stateless. You can also mount a nice large filesystem on the
clinet over the network via nfs on root filesystem, and have a totally diskless
box if you desire for recovery or e2fsck purposes or for noise restrains.
Diskless boxes are the quietest of all. I have found that unless you mount
the ftp directories under /home/ftp or do amazing things with /etc/ftpusers
and /etc/ftpaccess with wu-ftpd or config files for proftp the chroot done for
anonymous users makes large portions of your fs inaccessable.
FTP is good for internet guff or specialized apps but for large
work station installations or for little LAN setups I have found NFS simpler.
Regards, Kerry.
