I'm looking forward to the installfest next weekend, but I wanted to be prepared. I have an old Laptop without CDROM that I want to install linux on. I'm more familiar with RedHat or Suse, but I'll go for anything that works! My Equipment: Laptop TS30AS, 486 75mhz, 12MB RAM, 500MB HD, Floppy, but no CD-ROM. (http://www.tjunker.com/TS30AS.html) I've also bought a US Robotics / Megaherts PCMCIA Card (10mb LAN + 28.8 modem) but I don't have it infront of me to see the model number. I plan to use this at home to connect to my linksys router and the internet. Besides a little light browsing and email, I would like to do word processing (any text editor will do), and maybe use a spreadsheet. I also have the 2 1/2" to 3 1/2" HD mounting kit, so I could copy stuff onto the Laptop HD from my desktop. Would it be easier to do this rather than a network (or floppy) install? I have install CDROMS for RH 7.3, Suse 8.0, and FreeBSD 4.6 TIA, Mike Nixon
