[aclug-L] Re: Install question

[Jonathan Hall <jonhall@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It should be easy with the CD in a Linux machine--you can either set up an
FTP server on that machine, and then install Debian over the network via FTP
just as though you were running a standard Debian mirror.  Alternately (and
probably less desireable) you could set up an NFS server, and access the CD
over NFS--this is probably slower and harder to set up than the FTP option,
though.
