Can you install via ftp?

[Guest]

I have searched the forums, but didn't see anything on it. I am new here though, so I apologize if I missed it.

So, when a local call center shut down I got a bunch of their old computers they were giving away. However they have all had the CD-ROM drives removed, and I am in need of another way to install Kubuntu. Each has a 3.5 floppy drive, and after some google I came across this: http://www.linuxmigration.com/quickr...all/media.html

Basically I would like to use the bootdisk.img floppy and the drvnet.img floppy to install kubuntu, instead of redhat. So my question is, does anyone know of an ftp link, (or http for that matter), I can use to do a network install. If not, any ideas on how I might go about finding one, or suggestions on alternative means of installation would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all for your time. Looking forward to figuring this out.

Okay now I feel like an idiot. A few more minutes on google got me this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KubuntuNetboot

I'll try it out after I've had a chance to get some floppies, (haven't used one since my Office 95 class in highschool), and let everyone know how it worked out.

Don't feel dumb, I just looked for the same thing this past weekend and didn't find it. Unfortunately, there are a few too many places to look and today's search tools are good, but don't find everything. If they do find it, they don't always sort the most pertinent topics to the top of the list.
