installing linux via network.

[Holmes, Steve]

>From what I saw recently, it looked like slackware 7.2 was still using
2.2.18! I wonder why they don't go on with the 2.4 kernel since that is out
already.  What is wrong with 2.2.18? I admit, I haven't done a lot with it
but so far, it seemed stable enough to me.

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!
