So it turns out that the machine I picked up (200NIS) has a CD ROM drive that will only read 650MB CDs and the bios on the Motherboard is too old to recognize newer larger drives. Is it still possible (I know it used to be on older distros of RH) to boot off a floppy and install over something like NFS (off my laptop which can read the larger CDs). Also, are there places (in the Jerusalem area) that still sell the older 650MB CDs?
