Subject: Re: LINUX boot+copy files between PC-card slots
In theory it should be possible.
One would need to build a couple of floppies including a heavily patched
kernel with the Clik! driver and the Libretto Floppy driver. In fact
this
is a phenominally good idea for a rescue disk set.
Unfortunately I don't have time today or tomorrow to even start to
attempt this.
Is there no way you can find a fellow traveller with a windows PC who
will let you
"use" his laptop under supervision in return for a few beers?
