You've got a couple of options for install I think you could do the whole thing from floppy if you're using Debian or maybe Slackware.. I normally NFS export the cdrom from another Linux box, or if you've got lots o bandwidth you can do either ftp or http install from the net. greg -- public key available at www.keyserver.net
