hi,

i have an old compaq 486DX-50Mhz, 8mb ram, 2 Gb HD that i want to load linux 
on. i downloaded and burned the iso image for mandrake 7.0 i486 from 
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3#486 

the laptop does'nt have any cdrom drive or ethernet h/w. I have an external 
cdrom that connects to the parallel port (Onspec - 'on26.o'. where can i get 
customised boot disk to get the install to read the cd via the parport.

OR

i could connect the laptop via a 'laplink' cable to my desktop and perfrom an 
NFS install via slip..., 

also, any idea which would be quicker?

any help, ideas.... urgent ;)

Ashley Moore.
