Yeah.  Never did the diskette install other then to kickstart the install
procedure from a HD partition or later on via nfs from a networked drive
partition.  That worked best methinks.  To this day I still install from a
hard drive no matter what boot method, now usb flash disks.  I haven't used
floppies in ages and managed to ditch CD boots now.  Did a DVD boot only
once and decided not to pursue that further.

Speaking of DVD's, I heard Sony got sued due to copyright protection on
their DVD's totally screwing up PC's.  I got a chuckle hearing that.  Sure
glad I never got suckered in by them.  :-)

Life is good,
Maurice
