[KLUG Members] Failed network install?

[Wesley Leonard]

We were trying an HTTP install.  I wasn't feeling up to setting up NFS.

I think the install was somewhat successful because we got the guy's hard drive
partitioned (which was something that he was having difficulty with) and he got
to see most of the installation process so when he got home and replaced his CD
drive he was going to finish the install himself.

If you joined the list, please let us know how it went!
