Hi, all.
I have the following old Compaq laptop: 32MB RAM ,800MB HDD,PCMCIA network card, floppy,no CD drive.
I did a Debian Sarge install using 3 * floppies, then a network install from the internet. This went fairly smoothly.
Unfortunately, Sarge didn't recognise some of my hardware. I would like to do a Knoppix install, in a similar way. This way, I'll have the power of Debian, and the "it just works" of Knoppix hardware detection.
Does anybody know whether this is possible, without a CDROM drive?
Thanks,
Chris.
