I think that it will be quite hard to make it running from floppy. If you d= on't=20 want to install it on this HD (f.ex. because of noise) then you can replace= =20 HDD with Disk-On-Module or CF card with CF-IDE adapter. With booting from usb on such rather old computers I had so many problems t= hat=20 I went for other options like these mentioned above. Maciek
