True, but if you can read a README file in the DOSUTILS directory and you
can download things like eclipse, then you can download and run rawrite
against the .img files and create the diskettes...

After that, yes, put in the diskette, boot and follow the prompts. The
*hard* part will be finding a mirror that isn't overloaded to the point of
collapsing every time you install.. (like the redhat site, which is why I
use gatech  <VBG>)
