Thanks, Jonathon. So how can BKO <http://boot.kernel.org/> install Debian on my ancient, 256MB P4 Micron in under an hour over the internet, across a strict firewall?
A: They use HTTPFS <http://httpfs.sourceforge.net/techinfo.htm> booting over HTTP with the small 1 MB gPXE boot CD, boot USB, or boot floppy. Fuse rocks. BKO does have an entry for Ubuntu on its internet boot server. You might find teachers willing to give Edubuntu a whirl if they could "set it and forget it" for an overnight install.
