In Iran and Iraq I have found many Computers 486/P1 which can have only one HD. there is no place/connector for CD-Rom. The Mainboards are All-In-One-Solutions with no aditional ISA/PCI-Slots. So USB/Firewire can not used. Most Computers are without NIC. The other thing is, that they can not buy any new Hardware... If you earn only 60-120 US$/month there is no possibility. Note, that I am collection older Hardware for Kurdistan, Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. >Probably installing packages from floppies is deprecated since a little >while.

OK, IOMEGA exchange the Drives regulary with me ;-) but this is not a solution... and Parallelport CD-Roms are not supported by older Hardware. >Christian Leber Greetings Michelle -- Registered Linux-User #280138 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
