<P>
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI> A Personal Computer, laptop or desktop, called the target
|
|
computer or simply <B>target</B>.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI> A 3 1/4" inch floppy drive on the <B>target</B>.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI> Two or three fresh floppies. They don't need to be
|
|
formatted. You also need one more DOS formatted floppy if you have
|
|
to play with <CODE>FIPS</CODE>.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI> Another computer with a cdrom drive and nfs services,
|
|
called source computer or simply <B>source</B>. It doesn't have
|
|
to be a Linux system but just a system which can export a cdrom
|
|
drive via nfs. In this HOWTO, I assume it is a Linux system.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI> A cdrom distribution. I took a Debian Hamm (2.0r3) from
|
|
an old Infomagic compilation. I think every distribution can be
|
|
installed this way, but I'm not sure. I've read a
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.linux-france.org/article/sys/Install-Plip/Install-Plip.html">French document</A>,
|
|
written by Chmouel Boudjnah, saying the RedHat distribution has an
|
|
easy installation process. Chmouel's document also deals with the
|
|
Debian distribution, so if you read French, you can use Chmouel's
|
|
document instead of this one.

|
|
<P>
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI> A Null-Modem DB 25 cable. Is it the same as a serial
|
|
cable? You'll find the answer in the next release.
