| Quote (buyzaba @ April 13 2004,06:41) | Hello there fellows. I have a laptop that I want to try DSL out on. I have tried Knoppix booting from a cd before (not on the laptop) and i loved it. I think I will love this too. The problem is that i do just have floppy, and yeah a usb-port and internet. No CD. I have Windows 98 installed on it right now.
I have searched the forum for answers but have not found any.  How can I install it without a CD-drive?
Or is it not possible 
The computer is like this:
366 mhz HP Omnibook 900
96 megs of ram
6 gb hd
And there is 2 partitions, one with windows and files and one with the windows-cd only. Hope someon can help me  |
If you have another pc you can 'transfer' the contents of knoppix/dsl cd to the laptop put it in a folder named /knoppix
You have to boot in the pc with knoppix/dsl and:
#dd if=/cdrom/knoppix/boot.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=18k
That's all folk you can use the floppy to boot from the laptop
your particion with /knoppix folder will be a cd while dsl session is on
