I did this just a few weeks ago. If the other linux box has a cdrom then
this will work:
1) Mount the redhat cd in either the ftp directory, or a directory of your
choice on the 2nd linux box. I used the anonymous ftp server.
/home/ftp/pub/redhat
2) The install will ask you for the networking information (ip, netmask,
eth module) etc... You will need both the boot disk and supp.img disk
3) have it do an install via ftp from the other linux box (be sure to
specificy the path and user/password if necessary.
That should do it. I find the most difficult part is detecting the nic
properly.
