Hi all!
I've got to install linux using a parallel zip drive (no network card,
floppy or cdrom drive in the machine). So, I've thought of making a
mini-distribution (using the comps and hdlist files on the RedHat CD, as
said on the HOWTO) to fit in a zip disk, but before starting the copy of
the packages, the 100 MB disk is almost full. I'm not going to install
X, nor development tools, just a small set of programs needed for the
system to run.
So, I can change to a 250 MB zip disk or, if possible, use 2 or more
disks to have all needed packages. Is that possible?
I must say that the computer on which I'm going to do the install has
DOS already installed, so I'm thinking on booting from DOS, and run the
autoboot.bat file from the zip drive. I must also say that the
installation process should be done as automatic (maybe using a
kickstart file) as possible, since most of the installations will be
done by people with no idea about what linux is or how it works.
Is this possible at all? or should I start thinking on another method?
Thanks for your help!
