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.
