I've used an external zip drive myself, though it meant compiling a kernel with ppa built-in because it's not in the slink installation kernel (it was in hamm). Anything you can mount will do. You could of course compile support for ide-floppy at that time and install from the LS-120. (I don't do that because I use the zip method for lowly PCs.) Another possibility, is to create a DOS partition on the hard disk and transfer the necessary files (like base2_1.tgz) onto that by whatever means you can manage. After installation, you could use the partition for something more useful if you choose an appropriate size.
