Just starting to put up NFS on our servers at school.

B4 we go any further can I ask exactly what you don't understand re: NFS?

If you can set up an FTP server and your installer has an option for FTP install, you might be able to pull that off... Otherwise I'm not aware of any NFS server solutions that don't cost a whole hell of a lot more than just buying a boxed set(or three) of what ever distribution you want to try.

if you want debian, what you can do is to install the base system through floppy. once you have that running, install samba so you could read off the windows partition and install the files you need.
