I guess I didn't say that quite right. What I meant was boot from
syslinux. Query the user then nfs mount (no windows in this shop except
my e-mail PC[this one]) the right directory. Each of the directories
would have a mounted CD image (more likely a dd'd copy of the mounted
CD) then what?
Do I have enough room on a floppy to do NFS mounting? Or SAMBA for that
matter?
Can I effectively exec to the installers (like anaconda) on remote
systems and will NOT prompt me to install another CD.
I haven't tried any of this yet so I am anticipating problems.
Cheers

In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice, but in
practice there is.
