Has anyone got a HOWTO for doing this?  This sounds great to me, but 
I'm just barely moving from *newbie* status to *grommet* (a surfing 
term for you non-surfers).  I'd like to install all my future Linux 
boxes via ftp or http from a server (apt-get mirror?) in my network. 
It may not seem difficult to the *locals*, but it seems overwhelming 
to me at this stage of my jedi training.
