Hi
I have a Thinkpad 701C, the butterfly, with 24 MB of RAM and a 500 MB
HD. I want to get Windoze 95 off of this machine and Linux onto it ASAP.
I think that there must be a way to do it but I am stumped and hope that
someone here can suggest a strategy.
The machine has no floppy. I can (in Windoze) get a CD-ROM and a ZIP
drive mounted via an Adaptec SlimSCSI PCMCIA card. (I had to download
the drivers via the 14.4 modem)
I do have a Linksys Ethernet PCMCIA card which I could download the
drivers for, as I did for the SCSI card.
I can not run loadlin from windoze, but if I bring the machine up in
DOS mode, I can not get to the SCSI peripherals (and the CD)
So... how would YOU run the Linux install, without locating and buying
a floppy for this machine on eBay?
TIA
---Raymond
