Hello all;

I would like to install RedHat 4.0.  I downloaded this:

boot.img, supp.img and all the RPMS.  

The machine that I want to install it on is a 486 connected by Ethernet to
an NT server.  I have downloaded all the files onto this NT server.  I have
an FTPserver on this NT machine so I can ftp into it and install using
that.  I have tried this method but the installation program for Redhat
comes back by saying:

Bad FTP server response.  

I know I can connect anonymously to the NT server and I know I am giving
the right path to the packages.  I have tested this out manually.  

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to install RedHat on this machine
using FTP.  I don't have a CDROM on this machine nor does this machine have
a  modem hooked up to it.  

Any advice will be appreciated muchly.

Thanks in advance

Vaibhav
