hi
i know that it was already discused on ths forum, but my problem is a little bit different, so i've got IBM Thinkpad
an i wanna instal DSL onto in, so i make two FAT partition
first one 700mb,  and secound 70mb for dsl iso. To do this i had to format my hdd ( it used to contains Win95) and my question is how to transport dsl iso onto it, while i can't put laptop hdd somewhere else cuz it's not standard 2,5" disk and it doesn't fill properly into slot. So i heard that there is posibilyty to do this with parrel port (that for printer), so my question is :
-how to do this
-can i use some floppy distribution

greetings

(sorry for my bad language)

I have used both tomsrtbt (http://www.toms.net/rb/) and basic linux (http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/baslinux/). I don't know if their kernels comes with built in parallel support, but basic linux is based on Slack 7.1 so I guess that you could download a module.
