Hello -

Is there any way to install dsl on a client from a server?

And if not is there a way to run dsl off a floppy on the client from an image on a server thats running mandrake?

Thanks

well im too much of a newb to even figure out how to set up an ftp and the target machine is really old and i dont' think it can handle the pxe. I use mandrake 10 but don't know how to set up the ftp nor do i know how to grab the image off of a server. thanks anyway
