I think I'm in a catch 22 on this old puppy.  Its running Debian Sarge with a 
2.4 kernel and supports USB 1.1 (AFAIK)  I have some Kingston data traveler USB 
sticks and they should be USB 2.0

WHen I plug them in the kernel sees them but says there is no device driver to 
handle it.

I'd like to install the latest Ubuntu into a new computer.  This machine does 
not have a CD nor FDD.  The only way I can think of to boot it is perhaps a 
network boot which I have never done and failing that a USB boot which I cannot 
seem to create because my desktop doesn't recognize a USB memory stick.

Some possibilities:

1) If I can find the right driver perhaps I can compile and install it.  I'm 
not keen on this because the moment I get the new machine running I intend to 
retire this one.  I'll mirror the HDD and stuff the old one in the bank vault 
for insurance.

2) Can someone create a bootable USB stick for me?

3) I have a mac in the house but its not mine and I don't know how to use it.

4) I have an OpenBSD server but I don't think I bothered installing a browser.  
I've never used the USB on it anyways.

Other suggestions are welcome.
