Ugly ugly ugly :( Install doesn't support DHCP, so you'll need to suck up an IP for the install. I ddon't know if sysinstall supports proxy. It would be better to do a DOS install or make a local FTP site and ftp from that. > If this is not possible then I would like to just install the app from > my HD.

If you don't have one, pick one disk, make like a 200mb DOS primary partition, use that for the install, then just delete that slice and add the disk like you are adding a new disk to the system (which isn't easy, I hate to say).
