I Have an old toshiba laptop, that only has 500mb hd, and floppy. So i took the HD out, Put it onto a mobo, with CDrom, booted off cd, ran DSL; ran HD-install
Shut off that, put the HD back in the laptop.. and BAM! DSL on lappy without cd-rom, with 486 processor, and 16mb ram. Lcd does work, well except for a brightness glitch.
