[TriLUG] Home installation of Linux

[Andrew Perrin]

It's how I installed my debian boxes; if you go to www.debian.org you can
download images for boot, root, rescue, and drivers; use these to boot the
machine, then use the apt source pointing to a website (it's in the debian
setup) to proceed.  Worked flawlessly for me.
