GP, Consider using an external CD-ROM connected to the parallel port. If you don't mind bidding thru eBay, here are recent final bids ($60-$90): http://search-completed.ebay.com/search/search.dll?ht=1&query=bantam+backpack Nice thing about eBay is you can read feedback about sellers. Some sellers have hundreds of positive ratings and zero negatives. I've always had very positive dealings with sellers, except once when I bought directly (never buy something that isn't listed on eBay; if you feel you didn't get what was advertised a negative feedback can be left for the seller; it's powerful, and one gets the feeling that some sellers would rather be whipped with a wet noodle than get a neg. feedback). Here's some detail on how to use a Bantam Backpack CD-ROM to install Debian `potato': http://www.lafn.org/~cymbala/Debian/t4700ct.html Yours, -- Rob Cymbala 2nd email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG/PGP: www.Lafn.org/~cymbala/pubkey.html http://www.Lafn.org/~cymbala/airguard.html
