Hi Joshua,

You have the option to install over FTP, and you can point it to Red Hat's or
another mirror's FTP site... but good luck. I've tried this two or three times
over the years with no luck. I have however put the files on a local FTp drive
and installed it this way, or my preference is installing over NFS. Just drop
the ISO's on an NFS share and create your floppies. That's by far the simplest
Installation method since no burning to CD or anything.

HTH,

Alex.
