I haven't actually tried this yet but what you describe is my next step. I
think you will need to expand the ISO file rather than copy it directly onto
the partition though. Then use SmartBootManager to boot from floppy and
point to the partition.

This is all a really irritating by-product of the assumption that all PCs
can now boot from CD.... I was pleasantly surprised to find that the boot
floppy for RedHat 8.1, the last distribution I put on a Libby, recognised
the USB port on the docking station. SmartBootManager unfortunately doesn't.

I've spent the last 12 hours or so trying to make this install work,
but there always seems to be a problem. Right now I've moved on to the
idea of using Win2k to copy over the ISO files to a spare
partition...if that doesn't work, I'll be forced to yank the HD and
hook it up to a desktop PC. It would probably also be easier with the
docking station USB, because USB devices would probably work while the
PCMCIA slot seems to not. Has anyone else managed to do this install?
