FTP install of RH...

[chy at genuity.com (Chuck Young)]

What I have done in the past is to determine if another system can view the
disk the same way (like an LBA identical chs view) and install on another
machine.  Then, move the drive over to the old machine and boot it.

You could then dd and make copies, set partitions active, etc.  After doing
something like this, though, I usually ask myself why I spent the time on it
:-)

Good luck!

Does anyone know how I can get over this problem?

    I have some old Compaqs with 16M RAM and my CD is not recognized by
RH install. So I took the netboot image and copied it over to a floppy
disk and booted from it (I'm on a T1 line at work). Now I find that RH
7.0 requires a minimum of 20M RAM for ftp and http install so I am stuck
with performing an nfs install (but nothing can read the CDROM. Machines
too old/obsolete to upgrade for linux. I could pop the top and install
another CDROM but I guess I'm too lazy. Is the 20M ram ftp install
particular to RH7.0 or indicative of all ftp installs?

Thanks,

Kevin
