Hello,

It is I back with yet another Linux question, this time a short simple
one. Is there a distro out there that can install Linux from a floppy
or, better yet, over the internet?

I have an old 486 that is right now running FreeBSD, however, a friend
installed it and I don't really now FreeBSD and don't want to learn it
either. I am beginning to learn Linux and would therefore like to
install Linux onto this old computer. I am looking for a very basic
install, no x-windows or anything like that.

The problem is that the computer does not have a CD-ROM drive in it and
I really don't want to have to buy one for it.

Thanks in advanced,

chris
