So here I am: I've made 5 floppies. (root, rescue, driver[123]) and booted the system. As usual it boots up fine, but nowhere are there any hints about installing from the network. It gives me options for floppies or a cdrom drive.
I keep reading nebulous references to "net install" but nobody has taken the time to explain it. (in any documents I've found) For example: Installing Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 For Intel x86 reads: The `LAN' and `PPP' rows refer to Internet-based file transfer (FTP, HTTP, and the like) over Ethernet or phone lines. In general this is not available, but certain kernels may permit you to do this earlier. Experts can also use these connections to mount disks and perform other operations to accelerate the process. Providing help in such cases is beyond the scope of this document. Maybe someone here knows how to do it? Should I start making the next 10 base floppies?
