[Quantian-general] install via netboot

[Emmanuel Paradis]

Dear all,

I am trying to install Quantian on my laptop through netboot giving that:

- we have no DVD burner here,
- the laptop HD is empty (no OS, no partition),
- I have a desktop with Quantian.

I followed the instructions on the netboot HOWTO: I set the desktop as a 
terminal server, and booted the laptop with PXE (netboot). The boot 
starts fine but stops soon and displays:

...
DHCP Broadcasting for IP address... Operation failed. [three times]
No answer from network.
Can't NFSmount KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry.
Dropping you to a (very limited) shell.
...

And indeed, the shell is very limited!

If someone has a suggestion, this will be welcome.
