It is running on a subnetted class B network here - both with SLS 1.03
and with SlackWare 1.02.
If you are using SLS 1.03, installing via NFS works only with the
5,25" boot disk version (it has an "old", solid pl9 kernel). Later
it works with subnetted B-class nets by means of a "patched" libc
(it is called 4.4.2 there).
If you are using Slack 1.02, installing via NFS works only if you
fake a class C network during install. :-)
Later it will work with subnetted B-class nets - but I wonder why:
it has the "old" route.c (like SLS), and the libc is called 4.4.1.

Which way else?
