Setup a ftp server either on the windows box or on another linux box and point
it to the cdrom drive. I've found that it HAS to be an anonymous user with no
password, other wise it just says it can't find the files. Then you make a boot
disk from bootnet.img from the cd. Then boot the upcoming computer with the
bootdisk you just made. Do a text install, I tried a GUI install and it just
took me to text install anyway. Follow directions. It should automatically
detect your NIC, it did mine anyway. Just type in IP of ftp server and when it
asks you for directory, if your ftp'ed into the root directory of the cd, then
put . as the directory.

If I didn't explain good enough, let me know, I did this 3 times yesterday, I
thought it kept locking up, but it is just slow. Took 2 hours to do the install.
I have a 100 meg network between the two machines I was doing this with. The
problem was that the upcoming computer is kinda slow (16 megs of ram, 2 500 meg
harddrives, P75) The files were downloaded in an instant, but it took forever
for them to unpack and install.
