When doing a NFS install (if that's what you mean) you give the installer the
path to the image that you are installing from.  That's one of the questions
that it asks at the start of the installation process.

Thanks, very much! I was planning on doing a http install, but I guess it is the same idea....

On this note, I wonder how I can make my Thinkpad T61 boot from the USB flash?

The following are my choices:

1. USB FDD
2. ATAPI CD0:.....
3. USB CD:
4. ATA HDD0:....
5. PCI LAN:.....
6. - USB HDD
7. ATA HDD1:
8.
Excluded from boot order:
 : ATA HDD2:
   ATAPI CD1:

Many thanks and best wishes,
Trotter
