Actualy at an install fest a couple of years ago.. there was someone with
SunIPX that we managed to install over the network without a floppy or
cdrom.. I think it was somthing like using bootp and nfs.. all I remeber
it there were these two guys.. that just somehow already knew how to do
this.. :) and that it was redhat5.2 that they installed..
shrugs.
