This HOWTO describes how to install Linux over a Local Area Network (LAN). It covers setting up and administrating the install server machine as well as installing client machines from your server. Since Network Installation is distribution dependent it covers SuSE, Redhat and Debian installs but also includes a generic Linux network install guide.
