I've ripped apart rh-net-install.tex, and checked in a partly broken
copy.  Not only should I go over it again for things I know how to fix,
and actually fix them, but the following questions need to be answered,
and the answers documented.

* The (old) doc suggests that you look at things in
  /mit/linux/docs/install which all seems ancient.  We should drop
  something newer in there, and try not to break people looking for 5.2
  docs, in the process.

* How much should we tell them about partitioning?  Are they given
  a sane default?  Should they have a separate afs cache?

* What's the exact syntax of the "make me an install floppy" script?
  It should have some option to make pcmcia.img, and should print a
  usage message, and otherwise be clever.
  (I know what the script currently does, I don't think it's complete.)

I have no lock on this document.  The source is peppered with fixme's,
as well as the above points.
