[Discuss] Installing without an optical drive...

        Thank you all for your tips, for closures sake I settled on a
net install of Mandriva 2007. I have a slow Shaw connection, so this was
definitely the longest install I've ever done. Happily though everything
seems to be working fine ... excepting the nasty DVD-rom. 2007 looks to
be a good year for Mandriva.
