Re: Installing without CD

That rather complicates things. You need to mount the ISO on the loopback interface and find the boot image and write it to floppy. Having done that you need to boot up and go through the boot process without destroying your image and keeping it in a place which you will be able to read it from.

Use apt-get to install the servers. Read some good tutorials on their configuration to get them functional. Then find out how to harden them. Doing this will give you some good experience in learning linux. On 9/24/2005, "Paul Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >On Saturday 24 September 2005
