what is your aim? what is your reason for choosing floppies? generally
they are the last choice after all the others. sometimes though they
really are the only way.
but don't ask to use the same one in a month or two, it'll be
corrupted.
and out of date, and mislabelled, and lost.
or is that just me?
No, they really are outdated tech, now we have cheap USB memory sticks.
Except..
I have a PC which is totally blank and I need some sort of starting
point, this seemed the most obvious.
So I decided the next best thing (and I got some advice from someone
else, credit where credit's due and all that) would be to try and get
a floppy installation. It's hooked upto the net so once that's working
it shouldn't be a problem. It's just the first step that's keeping me
back.
Hopefully that makes sense.
Yep.
I have found Slackware very good in such situations. - Found a use for a
486 that way (tho not for long ;).
