I believe the 20MB requirement is a new "feature" in RH7.0. You should be able to do a net install of 6.2 or earlier. I guess one could build a custom root disk that partitioned, formatted, and enabled swap _before_ loading the second stage... As a side note, you need BOTH CDs accessable concurrently for an NFS install. You either have to copy both CDs to a local FS, or copy one and mount/symlink to the other. It's messy and tedious, but it can be done. -- -Matt The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth. On Tue, 30 Jan 2001, Kevin M.
