I did this three weeks ago. I got no response whatsoever. And I don't see an
install guide topic as being totally unrelated. Installing via FTP seems to me
to be a totally relavant topic for an install guide, is it not?

Sorry about that, it seemed to me that installation issues were a very
appropriate topic in which to ask my question. Perhaps it was not. Should I
start again?

Of course not. Installation on my hardware required using RULE installers,
slinky being a seeming favorite, and since Redhat installers will not run on my
target machine (only 16M of Ram), I chose it. Again, this seems like something
an installation guide would cover, and seemed appropriate for the topic at
hand. If I must use RULE installers, then it seemed appropriate to ask if a
guide would be available for those who had no CD-ROM access, and had to use a
network install of some sort, in my case FTP being the most feasible.
Believe me, I am not mad or anything because such a guide does not exist. It
is obvious that such a project as this has to concentrate on some minimal
standards, and at least in the desktop world, a CD-ROM isn't such a hard thing
to come by. For laptops, however, they are not as common, at least not in the
class of machine you seem to be targeting. I'm not complaining that such a
guide does not exist, I am merely asking if someone could add these
instructions to the guide that is being worked on.
