[Rule-list] Install with no CD or floppy drive |

Hi all,
I have acquired a laptop (Fujitsu Point 510) on which to test the RULE
installers. I will get the RH 7.2 CDs in a few days and hope to have a CDROM
drive to use with the laptop then (fingers crossed). Right now the laptop
has no CDROM drive or floppy drive. It's running Win95.
My plan to install (w/o a CDROM drive) is as follows:
(a) Use serial laplink cable to download the ff. to the laptop:
(1) partition resizing utility
(2) loadlin
(3) install kernel and other required files
(b) Shrink the Windows partition
(c) Use loadlin to boot the install kernel
(d) Do a network install over the serial link
My questions: where can I get the install kernel (I guess it's on the boot
disk image but I don't know how to get at it)? And what other files will I
need aside from the disk2.img?
TIA,
Ray
