Hi I have a Thinkpad 701C, the butterfly, with 24 MB of RAM and a 500 MB HD. I want to get Windoze 95 off of this machine and Linux onto it ASAP. I think that there must be a way to do it but I am stumped and hope that someone here can suggest a strategy. The machine has no floppy. I can (in Windoze) get a CD-ROM and a ZIP drive mounted via an Adaptec SlimSCSI PCMCIA card. (I had to download the drivers via the 14.4 modem) I do have a Linksys Ethernet PCMCIA card which I could download the drivers for, as I did for the SCSI card. I can not run loadlin from windoze, but if I bring the machine up in DOS mode, I can not get to the SCSI peripherals (and the CD) So... how would YOU run the Linux install, without locating and buying a floppy for this machine on eBay? TIA ---Raymond - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu
