Re: Net Install without CD or DHCP?

I'm trying to set up a system for net installing of SUSE (specifically
SLES 9).

So far, I have an installation server (http) set up. I can boot from
the first SUSE install CD, point to the http server, and everything gets
sucked down over the network. Beautiful.

The next step is I would like to give users a process for installing
without having to download the first CD image and burning a CD to boot
from. Completely diskless would be way cool, but downloading a floppy
image and booting from a floppy would be OK.
