Laptops lend themselves to trouble on the network install, as I have a
Sony VAIO PCG-N505VX, which has only 1 pcmcia slot, no cd, and a USB
floppy. I suppose if you can install an FTP server on the 98 box, that
would work better. I know FTP install works, as I've done it many times on
other laptops.
