Hm, I really have to find out whether that is still true for MDK 10.0...
I've installed MDK 9.1 in a similar way, using the Network boot floppy
and a PCMCIA network card instead, but in MDK 10.0 you now need two
floppies to do a network install (like on RHL/Fedora), so that one
doesn't work anymore... :-(
If a USB or other external CD-ROM (I have a parallel one and a SCSI one)
could be accessed after booting from a single floppy, I'd be in business
again... :-)
Cheerio,
Thomas
