    Linux From Floppies...

    Hey all. This is my first post. I love the forums. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knows where I can download a version of Linux that I can put on floppies and install. I have an old Toshiba Libretto (P1-100, 32mb, 4.3gig hdd) that I want to use strictly for wireless Internet. It does not have a cd rom, but does have a floppy drive. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Scott

    if you have a wired network card on it (even a pcmcia one will usually work) there is a way to do a net install from floppies for Debian. I did it on my old Pentium Toughbook and it ran great. http://www.debian.org/distrib/floppyinst
