I'm wondering about alternative ways of installing linux. I heard someone talking about installing over a serial connection, and also heard about installing over a telnet connection. I'm wondering which of these is possible, and with which distrobutions. I have a pentium 166 with 16mb of ram, so any newer Redhat releases are probably out, unless you can force it to install on a system that the installer doesn't like. I've heard that newer Redhat distros refuse to install on anything with less than 64mb of RAM. Any help would be greatly appriciated. Thanks.
