HD Install :: Installing DSL with no FDD or CD-rom
I have a Toshiba laptop with no Floppy drive and no CD-rom.
Can anyone throw me a bone with a method on how I can do the install? The laptop does have a NIC.
Thanks, TimmayWant to fill us in on the specs? I've done it on a crappy spec laptop, but depends on your specs which method I'd use.
Cheers and beers! SarahHi, I have the same problem. I got an old PC, with Pentium 1 133 Mhz, 2Gb HDD (but I would like to keep a partition w/Windoze) and a CD-Rom drive and a FDD. Both of them non bootable. Could I make a partitions in the HDD and install DSL on the HD? And could I install a loader wich allows me to launch win or DSL?
I'm a Linux newbie and I'd' really appreciate a step by step help. Thanks to you all
AndreaSeveral procedures are spelled out in the DSL Wiki available from our main page. In the search area try floppy install network install

In order to do a network install i would have to have a floppy drive... But I don't have a floppy drive for the computer.
Is there a way to create a partition on the harddrive with a copy of the install CD, and then install DSL on to the remaining memory on the hard drive? i have a 6 gb drive.
