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 the quickest way to achieve my goal (without any $$)? I had done this a couple of years ago and managed to install a minimal dist of RH, once the parport module was done, i then updated to i486-mdk off the CD. I also managed to get a trimmed down config for X, and ran the sawmill(?) WM. unfortunately i've forgotten the details.... :( any help, ideas.... urgent ;) Ashley Moore. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
