Re: diagnosing possible hardware problem

I tried to do something like that early on. I downloaded the edgy beta DVD
iso, verified it, and loop mounted it on my server. But, I never could find
usable instructions on how to tell the Ubuntu installer how to use an nfs
source, either the raw iso, or a loop mounted iso. All I did find was
inferences that it should be doable that way. I subsequently asked where to
find such instruction on the ubuntu-devel list (4 days ago) but never got a
useful response. Anyone here know?

Not me, I've not attempted a network install yet. Perhaps these links
might (or might not) be helpful:

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet

Either way I'd be interested in knowing what you end up doing. I have a
situation where I'll need to install 10 remote machines in the next few
weeks.
