Don't you need an NFS server, some kind of dynamic IP allocation server, etc. running on another machine to do the network install?
You should be able to copy the floppy images to disk via your NT machine using rawrite, but I don't know since NT doesn't seem to have a DOS mode where you can do it without Windows interfering. If you have a machine that can read SCSI disks, here's one idea (similar to what I did): partition the hard drive yourself (make sure you use the Sun disklabel), then use the rescue floppy and load the kernel image by typing: SILO boot: linux root=/dev/sda1 It should load the installation system from the hard drive. Don't try to repartition the drive later because it will not work if it's mounted :-) what I did (may give you ideas) was used one of my many hard drives to dd the rescue image to, then created the root filesystem on a zip disk and used my SCSI zip drive as the root filesystem, so I could partition all the drives. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ben Roberts, Class of 2001 (1st of millenium), founding member of MBLUG /dev/null-- the inode of no return | C stands for Superior (until devfs came along; now no inode)
