[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
