Does the RH 6.0 install disk support a ppp link (as your modem suggestion,
quoted below, seems to imply)? If so, that's a better solution than anything
I suggested for Mr. Zephyr ... but he doesn't need a modem. A null-modem
serial cable will allow direct connection to another host with a CDROM drive
in it (assuming, of course, that host can support ppp, and provide either
ftp of NFS services). It requires a bit of care to get this running, but
really no more than would be involved in setting up the CD-serving host to
answer a modem call and make a ppp connection.
