I read the howto (http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/support/solutions/ydl_5.0/ydl-net-config.shtml) but found it confusing. I don't have a YDL DVD, can't afford to buy one, and can't burn one. I have a cd burner on my windoz box and could burn a boot.iso from there if I had a link to dowload it. I don't see why a webserver is necessary but I have apache running on osx if that is of any use. I searched netinstall on the ts site, but didn't find anything useful.
Googling around, I found a free app called "magic disk" that looks like it can burn a dvd to flash or a partition, but I haven't tried it yet. Can the mac disk utility or hdutil do anything like that? -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Aaron Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Jim, > You may want to consider buying a DVD box set from TSS as this is the > easiest way, other options include downloading and burning all the CD > images, or doing a netinstall only using a boot.iso. > > Aaron > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Hi > > > > I've got YDL 3 and I want to upgrade to 5.
