Michael,
I have a laptop with CDROM **OR** FLOPPY and a network PCMCIA card.
The laptop also has a WinNT partition that *must* remain untouched.
Said this, and also that obviously I will backup everything on that
partition before trying, and never sue anybody if I lose it anyway:
1) is the installer in that ISO able to just leave alone that
partition?
2) would it work with a PCMCIA network card?
3) If not: the way I upgrade RH on that laptop is to copy the boot
images from new CDs in a /NEWDISTRO/ directory, change LILO to
boot from /NEWDISTRO/_the_install_boot_image_, and reboot with the
CD ROM drive inserted and containing disc 1: could I do it this
time?
Looking forward to try it!
Ciao,
Marco Fioretti
