Salve Mark,

this is realy taff :-)

I have installed GNU/Linux on a Toshiba Libretto, also
800 MB HD, but I preferd to install this HD into an PC.
Another idea would be to link your Laptop with an other
PC with a nullmodem cable (serial) or a laplink cable
(parallel).

I havn't experiances with this, but a link for you:
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/PLIP-Install-HOWTO.html

These cables are cheap to make yourself.
And this link is not only interesting for installation,
you can run TCP/IP for an local net,
for backups, printer sharing, internet ...
