User Feedback :: Floppy (NO CDROM) HD Install?

Any Ideas on how to install DSL on my Laptop HD (1G) without having a CDROM and only a FDD?

The reason for this is that I would like to use my OLD P1 laptop as a VNC/X client but also have the capability of working locally on this cool tiny distro.

I think the process would be something like the following but not sure:
a) Put DSL.iso on LOCAL server
b) Boot Laptop with a LINUX boot disk and copy the files over somehow?
c) install the image somehow??

Im very lost I know...

Any help appreciated.. thnx

If you have an adaptor so you can connect your laptop HD to a PC that can boot from CD. It is possible to install it on the drive and then put the drive back into the laptop. See my post for further details.

pcliquidators sells the kit to use a laptop hd in a desktop $4.99 I think.........
