I set up the necessary DHCP server to pass the "next-server" information 
that is used to tftp the initial kernel, which then went and read the 
kickstart file.  After that exercise, I never want to go back to 
installing systems from CD media.  In fact, I've installed another dozen 
systems at the house just that way.

My net4801 is running CentOS4.  I would like to run CentOS5, but that 
requires a bit more of a system and I'm waiting for all the details on the 
net5501 to work out.  Things like hard drive mounting.  The net4801 has a 
very simple bracket, cable and mounting hardware that works very well and 
is cheap.  A brilliant design for a particular niche.  I expect to see 
many more from Soren and Company.
