The system cannot boot from a CD, so I have to first get the "the all in one boot floppy" http://home.arcor.de/mschierlm/bootdisk/ then install of CD with both PCMCI slots in use. then put in a LAN PCMCI with the CD and install networking stuff. then pull the LAN, put in a USB PCMCI with the CD and install that.
If you have another computer with a cdrom you can install DSL to a usb stick. Then make a DSL USB boot floppy. Then even if a computer doesn't support booting from USB or a cdrom you can use the boot floppy to boot from the usb stick. -- Robert Arkiletian Eric Hamber Secondary, Vancouver, Canada Fl_TeacherTool http://www3.telus.net/public/robark/Fl_TeacherTool/ C++ GUI tutorial http://www3.telus.net/public/robark/ _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
