A couple of posters have mentioned a network install. Where are the details spelled out? Are we talking installing from a running machine? Already network enabled? My situation is that I have 2 desktops before me. A full well used redhat 7.1 on one machine and A solaris x86 on another. The solaris (intel) has a second disk that had a skeleton install of Redhat on it before I began my adventures. I wanted to install Woody in its place. So with a network install how would I proceed? I mean in general. Not a detailed account. I'll find and read any documentation I need. Pointers would be nice though. I wouldn't mind the install being very basic for quite some time. Long as it is network ready. Don't really care about X either. At least not immediately.
