Ask Slashdot:Installing OpenLinux

Jason Cook writes " I've been trying to install OpenLinux 1.2 on my secondary machine and have run into some problems. First of all, they only provide a boot image for booting off of either a CD or a 2.88 floppy. Neither of which this machine has. So I tried using a boot image for 1.1 and then do an NFS install. It appears to work, but it doesn't seem to install the kernel. So when the lilo configuration comes, it spits out error messages. I could go and download all of the 1.1, but I don't want to spend the time upgrading all of the packages. Any suggestions?"
