HDD install on old laptop with no cdrom
I have an older Sharp Actius slimline laptop with a 20 gig hd and no cdrom, I've created the boot floppy, and have the knoppix image sitting in c:/knoppix . The laptop is currently running Winxp (argh) and the hd is formatted as 1 big ntfs drive.
Can the boot floppy read ntfs? I get a kernel panic when trying to load up.
Or is there a particular boot string to aim
Cheers,
One

Solved.. !
Ok, I figured out an easy way of doing this (and you guys are all thinking ' bout damned time.. nub '
anyways..
I booted another pc with the knoppix cd, setup terminal services and dhcp etc on the main pc, plugged in the laptop with a crossover cable..
grabbed a rom from www.rom-o-matic.net for my realtek 8139 card that is in the laptop booted into knoppix from the remotely mounted cd, dropped into a shell and ran the knx-hdinstall (!)
here I am online typing away.. kde's all nicely configured just the way I want it
---------
Now i'm just trying to get some sound working, this is the output from lspci -v
