If you have another Linux computer on the network, you can do what I did. I
don't have a CD-ROM burner so I downloaded the iso to my Slackware Linux. I
mounted the iso with a loopback device (mount -t iso9660 -o
ro,loop=/dev/loop0 /path/to/iso.image /mnt/cdrom). I then setup the NFS
export for /mnt/cdrom. I then did a NFS install on the target computer.
Pretty kewl, I think.
Hope this helps,
Bill

I would suggest borrowing a friend's external CD-ROM. It would be a feat to
fit 650Mb onto multiple floppy disks.
