Set my machine up as wfw server, cause I didn't feel like using novell.
(did i mention we were using appletalk, NFS, novell, and wfw?  fun)
go to target machine, set up netcard + wfw networking if not already done.
connect to my machine.  grab chameleon files, and make needed ini changes.
insert correct serial number.
installed and working perfectly.  Much better+faster than swapping 4 disks
too.
