HD Install :: traditionaly << problem
hi
i know that it was already discused on ths forum, but my problem is a little bit different, so i've got IBM Thinkpad
an i wanna instal DSL onto in, so i make two FAT partition
first one 700mb, and secound 70mb for dsl iso. To do this i had to format my hdd ( it used to contains Win95) and my question is how to transport dsl iso onto it, while i can't put laptop hdd somewhere else cuz it's not standard 2,5" disk and it doesn't fill properly into slot. So i heard that there is posibilyty to do this with parrel port (that for printer), so my question is :
-how to do this
-can i use some floppy distribution
greetings
(sorry for my bad language)
You could have alook at http://www.volny.cz/basiclinux/oldpc/laplink.html.
big thx
one question less and one more:
which floppy distribution can i use without recompile kernel??
I have used both tomsrtbt (http://www.toms.net/rb/) and basic linux (http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/baslinux/). I don't know if their kernels comes with built in parallel support, but basic linux is based on Slack 7.1 so I guess that you could download a module.
