[plug] Attempting to install redhat 5.2 over network

[Mike Holland]

David,
yes you can do it. It may help if you have used the card with Linux
before, and know any parameters needed.
  Boot from floppy, and follow the questions. For a 'howto', see the
redhat install guide. I think SMB installation is a new feature of 5.2.

good luck.
