no ..the PC does'nt have a USB port and i can't open it because its in
my office. i would like to install debian on it, but for the time
being any distro would do. once one distro. is installed ... i can
install debian from there.
the problem is that the IS dept. refuses to install a floppy or CDrom
on this machine and i absolutely must have linux on it.
any solutions...
