Any Ideas on how to install DSL on my Laptop HD (1G) without having a CDROM and only a FDD?

The reason for this is that I would like to use my OLD P1 laptop as a VNC/X client but also have the capability of working locally on this cool tiny distro.

I think the process would be something like the following but not sure:
a) Put DSL.iso on LOCAL server
b) Boot Laptop with a LINUX boot disk and copy the files over somehow?
c) install the image somehow??

Im very lost I know...

Any help appreciated.. thnx

If you have an adaptor so you can connect your laptop HD to a PC that can boot from CD. It  is possible to install it on the drive and then put the drive back into the laptop. See my post for further details.
