is there a way to install dsl without a floppy drive or cdrom?
any help would be useful. Thanks

Hi,

If your machine has USB ports, and has the abillity to boot from one
you can install from a bootable USB pen drive.

There is a nice -install to hard drive- script in the distro.

also, if you have a second machine, you can swap your hard drive to do an install

I was in the same boat recently, and did what stian suggested-
booted from a USB pendrive. I've also booted this machine from a CF card & one of those USB carder readers.

well if you have another working computer. you can take out the Hard drive and put it in the working computer, then load DSL to it, and just pop it back it in!
