Re: Is there a way to install DragonFly via network (w/o CD) ?

:1) installer starts, and user selects pxeboot server ( or some other name )
:2) installer broadcasts for dhcp servers, installer refuses to continue until other 
:dhcp servers are shut  off
:3) installer requests that all computers that desire to be pxebooted be shut off now, 
:...

    Yow.  That is wayyy too complex.  The only two situations that we really
    have are (1) typical user whos LAN does not normally PXEBoot anything or
    (2) kick-ass sysop who knows what he is doing.

    Besides, the worst that happens is that someone's client will boot up
    into DragonFly.  Unless they login as the installer their hard disk will
    be left alone.
