With a USB NIC? I just checked Linksys website. Ealiest OS is Win98. So Network
install is out of the question.
Thank you,

You can't take a modified W98 startup diskette with the net command added to
it connect to the network long enough to copy the install folder? You should
be able to add the net command to the diskette and then modify the config.sys
and autoexec.bat files to get rid of some of the things it does that you won't
need and then using the net command connect to the network.

I have a laptop with no CD-ROM drive. I need a OS (preferably free, John)
that fits on a floppy, (could install on the NTFS HD) Boot enough to login to a
domain controller (SBS 2003) and allow me to copy over the i386 folder for
Win2k Pro.
This laptop is really old. Does not support USB booting. and Network boot
is for token ring. I do not have a PCMCIA NIC card, as boss misplaced all of
them. I have a wifi one, which I am sure will not work. Besides, we have no WAP
here anyways.
Thank you,
