There are machines in my garage that are supposed to go to the recycling dump. I have old boot messages from one P-III box that indicates there's an Intel 82559 chip onboard. I do have drives, and I do have a CD drive, although I'm uncertain as to its condition. I can make a serial console available. USB booting is out of the question. I am currently out of blank CD-R's, but might be able to find my meager stash of CD-RWs that I couldn't find last week… Failing that, can I dd a memstick image onto a drive? Mr. Barber loves these machines, they are his favorites. :) C > installation, setup, kernel testing, etc.. > - The system cannot boot USB media of any sort, so memsticks are out > - The ATAPI drive is CD-only; there is no DVD support, so there's no > easy way to get a "real" shell with full utilities (i.e. "Fixit") > > So if someone wants to take a stab at this, they'll need to do so and > make me an ISO.
