Bring up tomsrtbt on both machines and use the laplink cable to
establish a slip tcp/ip connection between them. Now you can mount
the Redhat CD on one and install it on the other over the network.
If one or both of the laptops has only 4 megs of RAM, an older version
of tomsrtbt has to be used. The newer versions don't work in 4 megs,
Tom has stated here.
Should be easy and fun. If you need more detail, ask.
