Why this installation method?

Because I have a laptop/desktop with neither CD drive nor Floppy drive that can actually make the machine boot from. However, I do have a PCMCIA Cd drive.

If you don't have the PCMCIA Cd drive, I believe there's a way to install from a partition (usually /dev/the_partition) you mount during installation procedure.

Info <!> If you have an URL we can use for that method, please provide it.


Hardware used for this

I successfully did it on:

Software used

Preparing the booting

$ mkdir /mnt/CdDrive
$ mount /dev/hdc /mnt/CdDrive

Edit Grub file

Let's set menu.lst to read our vmlinuz and initrd.gz files.

Warning /!\ Ooops! I apologize but I have lost the URL where I found the lines to set GRUB. If you know the lines, please do provide them.

PLACE THE LINES HERE

Reboot

Now, let's reboot and cross fingers Smile :)
