Hi All I have a slightly weird situation where I am trying to install to a machine (old IBM laptop) which has no floppy OR CD. I tried putting the hard disc in a desktop machine and doing an installation, but even with careful configuration, it got jammed half way through booting. What I was thinking of doing was creating a single ext2 partition on the hard disc and dd'ing the contents of the boot CD (boot.iso from downloaded version). Assuming that I can get it to boot, I can then run a networked installation using a PCMCIA network card. The problem is the fact that this works with the isolinux bootloader. Can anyone tell me any way that I can get this to work? Cheers Matthew Smith
