I have a hard drive, yes :) But when booting off the
rescue floppy one then has to use the root floppy as
well. When using a USB floppy drive, at boot time the
BIOS recognise it as a floppy drive, but afterwards
Linux sees it as a USB device. So I cannot use the
root disk.

Tried LILO but it doesn't work for some strange
reasons. Nothing happens after 'Uncompressing Linux'

Will try the Progeny installer today.
