Alright here's the deal: This lappy needs DSL. To answer some questions: No, there is no CD or Floppy Drive. No, I am not going to buy an adapter. Yes, it is networked. Yes, it is running win95.Alright, Let's see if we can get a Hard drive install going on this beast, eh? You can use any resource available, as long as no $$ is let out of my pocket. 133 mhz processor, 80MB ram, 1.3 gig drive (But we're using 400MB).. made for DSL.. So, get your brain moving and let's figure this out! ^_- Posted by cbagger01 on Aug. 24 2005,16:02
The solution exists.1) Pull the hard drive and install from a different computer, then replace back in original computer. OR Download tom's root boot linux and start it up via the "loadlin" MSDOS/Win95/98 linux bootloader. Then use the frugal_lite install script to download and install DSL. OR Download DSL , extract the files from the ISO via a program like WinISO and then boot up DSL directly via the loadlin program. Good Luck. |
