Although you can try use AppleTalk to install over a network, it will
be painfully slow. I have found that sometimes on a big install, it
will time out or just not work.
If possible, get an Ethernet PC card for the 2400 and run the install
as described below via Ethernet.
>Connect your Macs with AppleTalk (use your printed cable) then login to your

>AppleShare, then click on your desktop machine. Follow the simple

>Before you do that, make sure your desctop Mac has file sharing enabled and
>both systems have Apple Talk active.
