Hi,

I was just trying to install ubuntu on a stone age old notebook, which can't boot from anything else but a floppy disk. It has USB, but the BIO S can't handle it. The only Linux LiveCD I found which still supports booting from a floppy into an USB stick was DSL. :-)

However, DSL just has a minimum of software and maybe not the latest mk2efs, grub, etc. It therefore would be nice to have a NBD-Server on DSL to simply export the disk device to external computers with a complete linux environment, and e.g. to run a VMWare directly on the hard disk block device exported by DSL.

regards

Isn't this due to the kernel version?
Does DSL-N run on it?
