I was wondering if it is possible to install a linux distribution (like Mandrake, Debian, Slackware, etc.) without a CD Burner. Is this possible? If it is can you give me some information as how I could do it.
Thanks

Download the ISOs, then use RAWRITE.EXE to copy hd.img onto your floppy drive. then boot from the floppy and tell it what directory to read the ISOs from.

With Debian, you can also boot into setup from your hard drive using loadlin from DOS. It's pretty slick.
