Actually, I have done 3 network installs on laptops using RH 6.1. The FTP
install never works for me because unlike 6.0, you can't do a non-anonymous
FTP. I ended mounting the CD on a system under the /home/httpd/html/rh
directory ( I created the rh dir under this path) and did an http install.
I've done the installs on an IBM 560E, 380EX, and an AST VERSA-M (486
system). I've never had any of the problems that are being discussed, so
maybe it's a problem with the FTP and/or NFS installs.
