NFS protocol allows you to use drives from another computer. You need to use ppp to connect to your ISP and then use FTP as the install method. This is not a trivial task and you'll need to study the handbook and FAQ and do some trial and error before you succeed. Or do what I did download the stuff and install from a DOS partition. > Also, will I have to have a current connection when I do that? Yes. > I do not believe I am able to.. Thank you for any help. If you have an ISP connection then you are able to. > Jamey Owens > Rudy _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
