If you install windows 2000 professional over a network and the installation aborts, when the machine it was installing on reboots, does the installation begin from the start or resume right where it left off?

Depends on the stage the install is in at reboot.
If all stuff has already been copied in the 'DOS mode' to C:, after that it can restart where it was.
When the reboot happens during the DOS mode copy (no GUI), unfortunately install will have to restart. You will even have to make sure yourself that there is a network connection again (e.g. through RIS).

Hope thiz helpz,
