hmmm so maybe a net install isn't as hard as I imagined (compared to solaris jumpstart setting up thereof). Trouble is I really want the cd install to work - if there's a problem later and I can't boot off the disk (for some reason) I don't want to go through all this again I want to be able to pop in the cd and go. After more poking around I've noticed the md5sum on the iso I got before is different to that listed on the website. I'm assuming md5sums are supposed to be calculated the same on any machine and so should match... I did an ftp reget in case it was different but there was no change. Can I not do a sort of remote binary diff (via ftp or http)? will rsync/wget just get the diffs?
