[Rule-list] network install for slinky

Rodolfo,

I would like to work on the network install with you. I think we have 
the image file install under control. I really don't know where to start. 

Somewhere, I guess where it mounts the CD, we want to break out 
of the script and log onto a network and then mount the image file 
over the network. 

Do I seem to have this much right?

I am clueless on the commands used to do this. In the past I always 
just swapped cards until I got one recognised.

I am low bandwidth so an internet install is out of the question. I can 
test on a LAN though. This would be even easier than swapping hard 
drives.

I ran X on a 486 with 16 meg. I used IceWM and BrowseX with mixed 
results. I reported in more detail in earlier emails. It did however work 
even with the XFree86 out of the box X server. I am convinced we will 
be able to find a graphical browser/window manage/X server with a 
small enough footprint to give us graphical browsing on a machine 
like this.

Thanks,

Hairy Larry
