Update: You can do a network install off the pcmcia boot disk. I'm
trying to do a ftp install over the local lan. I get 20-30% through the
install and it gets an error and pukes... I get back to the package
selection screen and if I try again I either get more errors or a
ldconfig error. I've tried 10 times. Am I doing something simple
wrong?
