I believe the .inf file for the next distribution has to be there if
you're loading more than just bin.  sysinstall knows how many files are in
the bin distribution and will stop when it gets them all.

Yes, check out the handbook.  Dialup is in the handbook, ethernet is in
/etc/sysconfig (just modify the ifconfig lines).

vi comes preinstalled on the system.
