Network install for slackware?


My new X30 comes in a day or two, but I'm doubting it'll have a CDROM or floppy on board. Is there any way to do a network install of slack? I have access to a Windoze Desktop, and a Friend's thinkpad which runs linux.

Thanks,
Dia

I don't know what is X30, but if you don't have floppy or cdrom, and if you can't boot from usb, you have to install on another machine, then put the hard drive in you new machine. Just remember to install the good kernel, and don't reboot when the installation is finished.

You can install from network, but one of the computers would have to be NFS. (easier with the linux box)..

Google it, see if someone can help. I've done it before with XP and linux, but I already had a NFS box on that network.
