You can do it. See: http://www.gedanken.demon.co.uk/linux/looproot.html#toc4 With 2.0 I have not found a way to trick the install program into installing in a mounted loopback device. So you need to transfer a rather huge file from you linux box now... (I heard it is possible with the Debian 1.3.1 install program --- I haven't tried yet). > I need to verify that > before I continue because I have critical stuff on bob and can't afford > to wreck the OS or files.

Easiest permanent solution is to buy two cheap ne2000 compatibles (around US$ 20 each here in Germany) and some cable.
