Hi all
I'm happy to follow up with the relevant reading, but I want some help in
defining the question so that I know what it is that I am looking at:
I have an old laptop that runs Slackware 10.1 and its CD-R is kaput, and
Slackware 10.1 was not, at the time that I ran it, configured for USBs. I
can access the laptop via fish.
I want to install Debian on the laptop but it looks like the only way into
that machine is via an eth0, but how would I do that? Do I load Debian via
fish (or something more appropriate) and then boot up into it?
Anyway, if someone can point me in the direction of docs that concern what I
am looking for, that would be great.

yes?

That looks like what I was thinking of Neal. Thanks - just wasn't sure
what to call it. Looks like a steep learning curve ahead, tho'! :)
