choice 1: change from IPX to TCP/IP and (i think) redhat can install
off an SMB share
choice 2: copy the install files (ie. most of the cd) over under
windows onto the '95 hard drive, then run fips/partition magic/use
another partition and then install using the files on the local drive
changing to TCP/IP anyway is probably a good idea, since linux (and
any other non-DOS OSs) will like it much better than IPX
