I think you should unplug them both... This is how I installed on my 110
without floppy or CD.
1. Copy RH 6.0 distro to a dir on the winders side (base and RedHad dirs)
2. Copy loadlin, vmlinuz and initrd from this guy's site to the dos side:
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Haven/5112/
3. Boot to dos.
4. loadlin vmlinuz initrd=initrd.gz
5. select install from HD
6. do a normal install
7. do an upgrade with "rpm -U `ls <rpm_dir>`" to any distro you want -
even mandrake
