OS3.9 Installation without CD-ROM possible?

[selco]

Hi all, I have a problem

My son (The boy with the light saber) wants OS3.9 for his A1200 and asks me everday about it. He is just 6 years now but has no other topic to talk about since several weeks. That start to become annoying, so its highest time to do what I promised...

There is however one problem. There is no CD-ROM in his C=A1200. The A1200 is connected to my big C=A4000T via ethernet and envoy3, so he has access to my CDROM-drive via the net.

How can I install 3.9 on his machine? I could copy the CD via the net onto his hardrive, but how will I do the real installation then? Is that possible from the harddisk-copy?

Any tips? Any expiriences?

Thanks in advance, selco

Its not a plain 1200, it has a GVP 68030/40MHz with 16MByte of Fast Ram.

I just worried about a possible "CD-Present-Copy-Protection"

Ok, nice to hear. Just one more question: How much space is needed for the boot partition of OS3.9 including a little space for future installations?

Currently for his 3.1 installation its 8MByte IIRC. How much would you suggest? (The entire HD is quite small so I don't want  to make "boot:"  to big .
