Has anyone installed Debian or any kind of Linux on an IBM Thinkpad 755C
(or anything similar) that only has a floppy drive, no cd-rom drive and
no network connection? I've got a pc with network connection of course
so I could get whatever I need on floppies. Also, the specs are not
encouraging
etter though if you have 36MB.
If you use a smaller wm you'll probably get better performance than I did.

I've installed the base system of Debian (from the 20 floppy disks) on
my IBM 755C Thinkpad (it has no cd-rom and only 20 MB RAM as I said in a
different mail). When I try to mount a floppy disk it says:
end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy), sector 64
/dev/fd0: Input/output error
end_reque
The floppy is read with no problems by the suse 9.2 on my pc.
