How does the CF card and adapter work? Am I correct in assuming that , for e.g. I fit a 1Gb CF card and the adapter into the laptop then it "appears" to have a 1Gb HDD?

Compared to a normal HDD in a laptop (I have a 1.4Gb) is it any "quicker"?

I also have a second laptop that is really old, it has a CD rom but cannot boot from it, I cannot trace any compatible floppys either, althouhgh I believe it has Win 98 on it (and probably v low in memory)...any way I can replace Win 98 with DSL? I would use the poormans frugal but I do not have a floppy...

My apologies, I did try searching through the threads but did not understand, hence my questions.

As for the old laptop, I managed to take out the HDD, unscrew the caddy etc and was able to stick it into another laptop to install. Once I returned it to the old laptop, I have ot say the X setup displays some fantastic colour on this 24MB laptop...I was genuinely suprised. All I need now is to get my PCMCIA wifi card (as oer previous threads) started and off I go...

The DSL experience is a lot of fun !
