Now, Paul, you know better than to say "the only solution" around this
crowd, don't you? :-)
There are others. Here's one:
Make a big ol' FAT partition large enough to copy your files onto. Boot a
DOS disk with your CD driver, and copy the files over.
Install Linux off the FAT partition.
Later, nuke that FAT partition and use it for something else.
Not the best solution, admittedly, but it is a solution.
Another would be making a custom install floppy with the right drivers, once
you figure out how to set them up. That's probably the preferred solution,
if a spare IDE CDROM is unavailable.
