... boot from one floppy (with BIOS
support), then switch to network install. Obviously, this requires a
network card and ideally a second machine that can be used as server
(though an internet connection might do).
How did you go about enabling the network card from a boot floppy? A few
years back David Chien wrote out the procedure for getting DOS drivers for
an HP M820E CD/CD-R-ROM drive enabled from a floppy. I'm guessing the
process to enable a network card is similar.
I would not recommend even thinking
about any of the "big" desktop environments a la KDE or Gnome.
Back when Neil Barnes was on the list, he recommend the IceWM shell for a
copy of Mandrake 7.1 he helped me set up on my L50. None of the windows
managers I tried at that point could match the performance of IceWM. I just
wish I was able to wrap my head around Linux to the degree where I could
figure out how to get things set up without reading through endless manuals
and man pages.
