I've never thought about a serial feeding. You're right, it would take forever. My suggestion would be to take the disk out of the laptop and stuff it into a more modern unit and do the install that way, or, get an adaptor and put the disk into an i386 box and do an install that way. Either way is apt to be faster than using a serial line (gack). --STeve Andre'
