installing linux via network.

You seem like your going to become a power user pretty quick like.  I
would recommend that you skip the zipslack.  I think you are looking to do
more then it was built to handle.  I do not think that zipslack is able to
be installed on the network.  zipslack is a distro that runs on the umsdos
file system which lives on top of a fat partision.  I say just use
slackware.  Hopefully 7.2 will be out in a bit.  That will surely be
nice.  I hope they are going to  move to using the 2.4 kernel tree.  Or
hopefully 2.2.19 is better then 2.2.18.  man 2.2.18 sucks!
