This machine has no floppy, no CDROM drive, and it doesn't have any kind of PCI or ISA bus for a currently supported networking *card* However, it does have a hard drive (now) and USB, which is how I have it networked under Win*lows I can load the raw Linux files on to a folder on the Windows partition fairly easily, since my Linksys 10/100BT Ethernet adaptor works fine on windows..(My ultimate plan is to apply the USB backport for 2.2.14 kernel) If you have access to the SuSE manual, and I would guess it's on line, they have a whole lot of info on how to install from a DOS/Windows partition. (You copy stuff onto the hard drive, and then install, but they claim it works.) It seems like SuSE has better documentation than other distros that I've seen. Maybe you'll want to use SuSE. They also have some info on network installs, but it was not too clear to me, and they won't help you with that, unless you have a business contract with them. ... -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
