Dear List,

I have an older Sony Vaio that I would like to install CentOS on.  The
unit has a USB CD that can _not_ be used as a boot device (the Sony one
could, but mine is an aftermarket CD and can't be used to boot).  It
does have a floppy drive that it can boot from.

The only network install method for CentOS that I can find uses a CD,
not a floppy.

Is there anyway to get CentOS on this machine?
You can write floppy, boot from it and continue install from CD.
I hope... ;)

If your Sony can boot from network by PXE, so you can use that way too
(and it's one I prefer), but you have to have appropriate server for
this type of install.
