I have a laptop motherboard with a 2.1gig HDD and a PCMCIA NIC and Lucent WaveLan Silver running Redhat 7.0. The problem I have is that I'm wanting to install Mandrake 8.1 on the machine, but it has no CDROM or Floppy drive, so I'd like to use the PCMCIA NIC and a NFS or FTP instance of the install disks on another box, but I've not had much luck finding any info on the net which doesn't require floppies for a network install. The theory I have is if I copy an install image over to the machine and point lilo to the image, when asked for the source of the install media I would specify FTP/NFS, but I don't know the exact process of going about this and which images should be used etc. The NIC is set up and functioning, the whole thing is running, I just want to install a different distro on it, I'm sure there's a way, but I cannot figure it out as yet.
Thanks in advance, -Matt.
