[PLUG] Help with installation, please

[James C. Lewis]

I had all kinds of problems a long time ago trying to install RH 6.1 with
FTP... If I didn't let it partition the drives, it would fail when it was
time to download the packages.

What I ended up doing, instead, was mounting a redhat cd on my firewall,
and then setting up apache to use /mnt/cdrom as its root document.

The http install went without too many problems.
