Re: Installing without cd.


Sorry to be so long getting back to you with your helpful instructions.
My PC died last week. Anyway, I have the old laptop working, with Dyne
as the OS. Many thanks.


My mainboard decided to lose it's IDE channels last week. No IDE, no
disk access. If I had been using Windoze I would have been in deep
doo-doo. With Linux, just move your hard drive to another computer, or
buy a new, better, mainboard. just a few key strokes, and away you go.
FANTASTIC!
