Correct, not enough drive space for that kinda function. I'm bringing a miniITX box with an 80GB drive that will have some ISOs and installation files for various distros on it.
We could setup the Linux servers at CCCC to be FTP/HTTP servers for installs with a specific distro. Anybody wanna take a crack at that? Mat?

If I have that computer, I will set it up as an ftp server at the least with the appropriate isos. I do not know how to set up the nfs server thing though. If that doesnt happen, what about the servers we have there? are they still up? We could do it that way (although they dont have much hdd space). Or perhaps a configuration with knoppix --mat On Mon, 2003-07-14 at 09:30, John Hebert wrote: > Hmm! Sounds interesting.
