I have just been given two Digital HiNote Ultra II notebook PCs. 150Mhz
Pentiums.
They don't have a CD-rom or modems.
I would like to install 4.1 on them. I have FreeBSD 4.1 running on two
Desktop machines, I was wondering if there is anyway I can connect the PC
and the Notebooks via the serial ports to install from the CD on my PC. Or
am I stuck until I get an external CD-ROM.
