SUMMARY: Install over the network

Hello managers,

Thanks to all who've replied (many good ideas and interesting weblinks)
The method described below is right.
I've made one mistake on the client machine; I've forgotten the blank between
the "dush" and "install"
"ok> boot net - install". Thanks to Steve Maher who've noticed this.

Berst Regards,

Rachid
