Hello there


I have a PC (running Windows XP Pro) and a laptop (running Windows 2000
Pro). I want to install MandrakeLinux 10.1 on PC over the network using
laptop's DVD-ROM drive.


I did manage to boot from floppy but PC was unable to access laptop.
How to setup my laptop to do that? How to setup Hostname, Domain name
, destination of MDK10.1 installation source (that would be D:\ on laptop)etc. Or someone can suggest some good site from where I can follow steps to complete installation over the network.

Thanks a lot for your suggestions in advance.

A network installation requires a FTP, HTTP or NFS server running on the laptop and be able to access the DVD-ROM drive. You can use the IP address as hostname, a domain name is not required.

You can also copy the disk to a FAT32 partition and install via hard drive.
