linkxs

Hi, i was wondering if there's a way to install a linux distro without having to burn the cd's. i ahve a fujitsu 655Tx, it's a very old really thin laptop, with a docking station, that ahs a floppy drive and a cd drive. however, the cd drive can only read some old cd's for some reaosn. its not able to read any burned cd's, and can only read the originals. i found an old cd with redhat 6 on it, but it turned out it was a bit scratched, so i can't use it. if i ahd any original redhat cd's, it'd prollyn work. anyways, iw as wondering if i could use floppies to isntalll a linux distro, possibly redhat(suicide, i know). Thanks

you can install over the network if you have another linux computer. you can also install from usb drives

there is no usb on the computer, and only a built-in modem. it ahs 2 pcmcia ports, though, and i ahve a pcmcia ethernet card. how would i get it working

there are various floppy disk linuxes, those will be your best bet at this point.

i already thought about the floppy distros, but all of them are way too basic. if there was redhat 6 or newer on flopies, i'd loooove it

Ubuntu install with Floppy
Fedora install with Floppy
