    Dear all,

    I'd like to ask the general procedures about setting up a local FTP server
    for other machines to install Linux (Fedora Core 1) from this server via
    LAN. Seems that apart from the .iso images, I still need some other files so
    that the server can start up the installation procedure as well as
    decompressing the .iso images. How can I get these files? And, is there any
    online links that teach about this? (I tried "FTP server" and "Linux
    installation" but this gives me too many links unrelated to this subject.)

    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Best Regards,
    LaBird (Benny).
