  Ftp should work, but I don't think the install floppy has PPP support
(it should have SLIP though).

  There is only one program on the install disk - all the commands are
"crunched" into a single executable, with links to all the different command
names.  The entire install disk needs to be rebuilt, and it can no longer
be rebuilt to fit on an 880K floppy.  I have sucessfully created a 1760K
floppy image (good only if you have a high-density drive), and have used
a modified kernel to boot that image from the hard disk swap area.  [The
kernel has a mini-root capability, where the 1st 2MB of the swap partition
is reserved for a root file system.  I copied the install floppy to that
partition using dcp on AmigaDOS and booted from the swap partition.  I had
to fix a bug in the kernel to get this to work on my system, but that bug
hasn't been fixed in the current sources.]
