Let me encourage you to continue!
I would have used this method to install on my old notebook, but
being new to Linux, I felt that pcmcia and networking were too much
to take on without a good description.
On a notebook like mine (no floppy, no cdrom), this is the ideal way
to install (starting from the RH cds). Instead I "cheated" by
preloading the HD with the 2 img's and 2 iso's before running setup.sh
I'll certainly volunteer to test your procedure or scripts when you
are satisfied with them. I'd like to continue to recommend Linux (and
RULE install) among people who have these notebooks (Itronix XC6000).
