[techtalk] Mandrake NFS install

[Phil V Savoie]

Hi,

Off the CD in the images dir you could rawrite the network.img to floppy 
and do it that way -- real easy just follow the prompts or go to :

ftp://ftp.linux.tucows.com/pub/distributions/Mandrake/Mandrake/7.0/images/

and reteive it that way.

hth,

Phil
