I think I have figured out how to do an install of Linux over a network uding FTP.
I have a machine running an FTP server which has the home directory "user-anonymous" set to the root of the cd-rom. I have used rawrite to copy the file "netboot.img" from the red hat cd-rom to a floppy. When I insert the floppy into the target machine and boot from it, I get the usual "Welcome to Red-Hat Linux" screen. However, when I press return at the "boot:" prompt, I get the following message :- Loading initrd.img... Boot failed: please change disks and press a key to continue What is the "initrd.img"? Where do I get it, and where do I put it? Any ideas? Thanks, Mark.
