RE: installation with no floppy or CD?
(it's really not that hard-- I've done it with a tp570)
the best thing is if it's on (ugh) win98 to start (or 95)--
1- use something to shrink your partition, or else get put the following
files on a nfs server
download your root.bin, rescue.bin, drivers.tgz, and (if you want)
base-2_2.tgz onto the partition/nfs server. Also download loadlin. Or
linload.
boot into 'real' dos -- where you have to reboot into ms-dos mode.
run loadlin.
and it's pretty OK.

It can be done. But you do really feel that masochistic. Just borrow a
cdrom/floppy.
