boot floppies??

Hi Martin-

You would boot to the boot.iso (or the first install CD), and type:  
linux askmethod


>From the resulting screen you can choose an FTP install.

You will see the screen here: 
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/install-guide/s1-begininstall-ftp.html

and just need to pick a mirror from:
http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html

It actually works pretty well!
