That is a theoretical possibility. However, as I have no available video card, no USB keyboard (it doesn't have a PS/2 kbd or mouse port), and no CD drive handy, I'm pretty much out of luck there.
Then you can remove the hard disk, plug it somewhere else, install, and plug it back. I did that for my 386SX-20... Notice that the only package that is tuned somewhat to the microprocesor is the kernel: the rest are just generic pentium nowdays, I think. Alternatively, I read somewhere that you can use the serial port as a console (remote), and perhaps even the main one; but I don't know if this applies to the install. This is configured in inittab. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
