Well, an old one, really, but with a new twist.

I want to install Linux-Mandrake automagically from a hard disk to the SAME hard disk.

This computer has a hard drive, and a proprietary EXTERNAL interface for a floppy.  
The internal is a Laptop 44 min interface with no power for a CD.

There is on-board sound, a LCD display, an ethernet interface, serial and parallel 
ports, built-in speakers and a touch screen  Keyboard and mouse interfaces are PS/2

Sound like a notebook?  It isn't.  It's a wall-mount for medical monitoring and 
superannuated for that use.

So folks, put on your thinking caps and let us see if we can configure LILO or GRUB to 
pick up a boot.img.

I know, I know.  I could mount the Laptop HDD on another machine and get most things 
done except I would have to reconfigure the Ethernet interface, but isn't there a 
better way?
