Other Help Topics :: Install from LAN?



I have read Roberts guide on installing DSL on laptops by using a few floppies and an internet connection.

Would it be feasible to, say, have DSL iso somewhere on your network (eg on a DSL box running a webserver) and changing the appropriate scripts so that it collects the iso from there?

That would be very useful!  :cool:

I agree!   And his method should work good...well ensuring you can get your network card working

A local ftp and http server would make more sence and be tons faster!!!!

Yes. If it were possible to use the wireless card to boot over the network that would be good! :D But I'd settle for a wired LAN card which I know works :laugh:

[EDIT]Forgot, my wifi card is picked up by DSL, just need to configure it, so it should work![/EDIT] :cool:
Read the install properly don't know how well wifi cards are supported by TomsRBT. ???

Anyway had a quick look through Roberts (aside from one spelling mistake :;):)  only found reference to the current directory on the ibiblio ftp server. Not sure if the script actuallys gets the ISO ???
excellant idea, put the floppy in and off it goes, great for installing dsl on multiple machines :)
