Lisa,

As
long as there is space on the file system to upload the install files from the
CDs to a temp directory on the destination server - just the same as you would
if you downloaded the files from OTN- and you tar and ftp, or simply transfer
for windows to the Disk1, Disk2 etc. directories, there is no need to actually
mount the CD. Once you have installed - simply trash the temp directory with the
set-up files in it. I do this all the time, installing from CD images stored on
a networked PC that are also used to burn the CDs.. The transfer of the files
may take a while, but the install will run fine as it will be running locally to
the server.

I meant install in general. It took
forever to do it over a fairly weak network.
Never went in the computer room? Really??
Cool :) But did someone physically load the cd on the host for
you? Or did you run it from your pc?

Are you talking NT only or install

OK, terminal services?
I agree that install is an
exception. It's nearly impossible if you aren't sitting in front of
the host.

This doesn't work for NT
machines, and it with Unix you cannot install 8.1.6 without X
access.<FONT color=#000080 face=Arial
