Pixel Is it possible to do an ftp install on a laptop? I have tried this (by fmirror to my local server then doing anon ftp from there) and I couldn't get it to work :0( I read that with NFS it may be possible but I was unable to get the pcmcia network drivers to load (the script doesnt let you pick pcmcia in the config part of the install, just regular nic's) So in the end I either make a CD or copy it to the laptop's HD. Also do you know if panoramix can run other servers like SVGA yet?
