That was quite easy (boot from floppy with the correct floppy disk(s) - is that possible after linux 2.6?), and then ftp install (i only had a windows machine aviable at that time, so no NFS. But a mac should be able to host a NFS share with the .iso's). But the easyest solution in your case is probably just swapping the drive. And for the future, getting yourself some kind of ethernet adapter :) Kyrre
