I recently wrote up a quick reference/cookbook that will hopefully help
save lots of time in installing and configuring Red Hat 9:

    http://www.linuxmigration.com/quickref/index.html

The tips for installing over a network are in the "Linux CDs and floppies"
section under "Installing Linux from the Internet??"

It also includes info on configuring browser plugins, the window
system (annotated diagram of the XF86Config file), tips on open office
(slide animation, slide transitions, etc. that are hard to find in the
documentation).

The goal of the site is to be a cookbook that can be used to as QUICKLY
as possible show how to configure something without having to read so
much documentation.

If anybody has any suggestions for the site, please let me know.
