Any Idee how I can fix this? I'd found allready topics but they all have a networkcard.

System specifications: 16mb RAM
                              intel (80)468
                              1.3GB HDD

I only have a floppy drive. Only DSL on harddisk is fine. So fulltime linux
:)

Grtz and thx

Probably to remove the hard drive and use an adapter for laptop hard drive to normal hard drive and install in a whitebox with a cdrom then put it back in laptop. DSL boots will autodetect so should not be an issue installing in a foreign host.

But you can't "cut" DSL in little pieces, so you can put it on floppies?
I don't want to buy things or so.

But thx anyway :cool:

You could buy 60 new floppies and use this method as listed in the Wiki.
But be warned it will be very slow with so little memory even with a swap partition.
