mmm, now thats why we use Linux :-). But ... surely even a cheap
computer can be had for practically nothing. Check out your local
schools and see if they have any old hardware. Make them an offer.

The hard way first eh? . . . mmm how about:
The woody floppy install - 20 disks, and that is just the base system.
Don't know if sarge has floppies, b
I think what James
was trying to say is that both your time and the time of those offering advice
is probably worth a good deal more than the cost of a new CD burner. I
don't think he meant any insult, so please don't take it as one. You'll

I'd recommend buying a new burner, or a good used one, they're dirt cheap.
If that's too expensive then obviously your time is worth a lot less than
most people's, either that or you like frustration.

That rather complicates things.
You need to mount the ISO on the loopback interface and find the boot
image and write it to floppy.
Having done that you need to boot up and go through the boot process

1)Download boot floppy image
2)Write to floppy with dd
3)Boot from floppy (much slower but at least it works)
4)Configure installer to install packages with http or ftp
You will get this chance after the first reboot. The installer has an
intuitive ncurses GUI and guides you through the process of
