Hi Gerry:
This may or may not be available to you. If you live in an area with a
linux user group, you may be able to use someone elses cards (network) and
do an FTP install. I've seen that done at our local UG but didn't pay that
much attention since I don't have a laptop. Do know they were using PCMCIA
network card on the laptop. We have 30-40 members at our meetings normally
so usually someone who can help.
