bvc Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 you can do it that way if you can't burn an iso to cd or can't boot with a cd, and/or don't want to mount an iso on an hd partition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghil Vertefeuille Posted March 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 hum...I'll try the CD method first I think :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HJ Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Truth is, you can install just about any distro from the net. There's a How-To some where in the FAQ section of the board on a mandrake net install i believe. If your interested in Gentoo, you could download a 45mb gentoo livecd, then follow the guide for obtaining the files fromt he net and all. Or if you're asking becase you don't have a cd-burner or your cdrom can't boot from cds, take a look at Netbooting in sections 2b. at this url... http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/hand...hap=2#doc_chap2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windependent Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 net installs are pretty much the only way to get the download versions of Gentoo and SuSE. hth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
