Laptops :: Install on old laptop without CDrom
Hi eveyone,
I want to install DSL on a Toshiba Portégé 310CT (32meg RAM, 1G hd, floopy drive, USB, no CDrom). I've been googling around but I didn't find the answer to my questions:
1) What is the best way to start DSL, just to try it, without CD? I know other derivates from Knoppix (like Quantian) can use a floppy to start from an iso image on the fat32 partition of the hd. Is it feasible with dsl? I tried USB memory + floppy but it works only on few computers...
2) Once I know what' working or not with dsl, how do I install it, the safest way? The point is that if there's something wrong, I will have to make new install from floppy only...
Thanks for your help,
BoZ
Try seaching the forums for keywords like
poormans
cdrom AND floppy
toshiba AND boot
then search ALL FORUMS and FROM THE BEGINNING or NEWER
Thanks, I should have search more before asking stupid questions. It is now booting from floppy+USB key...
But I am now dealing with new problem with X. I already asked another stupid question in the "X and fluxbox" forum for that. Sorry ...
