[Gllug] Not linux, yet, but Risc OS

[matthew at thenut.demon.co.uk]

In attempting to install Linux on my Risc PC I am stuck at the point of
trying to get the files to kickstart the installation on the Risc PC
itself.

I do not have a NIC for it and am unlikely to as they cost a small
fortune (the story is the same with my Amiga, unfortunately), so I am
looking at file transfer methods using my serial cable (in fact I have
two - one for the Amiga when I get it back out of the cupboard)

Does anyone have any knowledge of installing PPP over a null-modem cable
on (Debian) Linux and Risc OS?

Alternatively, how can I transfer files over said cable?

Cheers

Matthew
