- Yes. I've used this technique to install NT on machines without CDROM drives.

- Yes, this also works.

- I've found NT-to-WFW (and back) remote disk access to be less reliable than
- NT-to-NT access -- connections sometime drop for no reason -- but it is
- mostly usable. Also, server visibility (i.e. NET VIEW) seems flaky --
- sometimes you can see other machines, and sometimes you can't -- but you can
- usually mount a remote volume even when you can't "see" the server.
