I wish Ubuntu made it easy to do a PXE boot and install server. Put the install CD in one computer and select "do PXE install on other computer" and it'd just start a server. Hook that computer to a hub or with a crossover cable, and away you go. Maybe I'll put in a feature request for Dapper+1. > 2.

I don't even try to see if the winmodems are working. -- Michael Moore ------------------------------- www.stuporglue.org -- Donate your used computer to a student that needs it. www.ubuntu-utah.org -- In Utah?
