RE: Security on an old machine
yes it should work
Ive done this a few times due to various issues like a broken bios not
allowing boot off a floppy or cdrom. It should not effect your security any
worse than doing it straight off, the debian hardening howto should be
followed to make it secure afterwards.

I have an old 486 without a cdrom in it. If I pull the hard drive and stick
it in another machine to perform the install will this work? And if it does
work will it make the system any less secure?
