I was trying to install debian stable that time. After a lot of tries, I just got the install through network.. JA Tavares

Reinsert the HD into the Libretto, boot into DOS mode, and rename all of the current directories. (eg. c:\windows -> c:\winold) This way, you can go back to your old setup if needed. Once this has been done, start the XP setup in DOS and allow it to install into the usual directory C:\windows. You will find that this works on systems w/o CD-ROM drives or Floppy access -- all you need is to have the XP setup files on a primary bootable active partition on the HD you can jump into DOS to. adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __ Do You Yahoo!?

The idea looks good to me :-) Have a look here: http://home.hccnet.nl/pr.nienhuis/Windows.html#Win2K for some hints and links. You can start the installation from DOS, by running D:\I386\WINNT.EXE Do not forget to first start (indeed!) smartdrv.exe (disk cache) - makes the difference between 1 hour and 4+ hour installs! (You can find it in a Windows 98 subdirectory (\Windows\COMMAND\ or maybe \Windows\ itself.) Good luck, P.
