Preparing to give the class caused us to put together a server running the following services:
On this server we faked a couple of servers in the .com domain (such as www.oocities.org and www.compaq.com and ftp.compaq.com) because we didn't have access to the real internet.
Todo:
Document copying RH cdrom to server ftp/nfs site.
Document how to have nfs export the necessary shares.
Document setting up kickstart share.

This kickstart shows how to install Linux plus the Compaq Health Driver, Management Agents (cpqfdtn, cpqsvr, cpqstor, cpqnic), e100 driver, and the Compaq Survey Utility. These kickstart scripts basically automate the above documented installation instructions. The kickstart installation scripts can be seen here kickstart-rh70.html.
