I want only CLI. Maybe i'll try some lightweight or minimal window manager.

I have never tried "tomsrtbt" before, but it has (dhcpcd, httpd, ifconfig,
network,
networks, nslookup, ping, route, rsh, rshd, telnet, telnetd, traceroute,
wget, and
mount). I think it has some networking capabilities.
If it has mount, then maybe it can mount NFS directories or maybe I can use
wget
to transfer LFS to that laptop.
I also have one COM and one LPT cable to connect two computers. This is also
one way of getting data from one to another computer. :) But it takes a long
long
time to copy 1 Gb over LPT.

I have never tried any VM before. I'll take a look on that.
