So, I have this old laptop that I desperately need to install Puppy on within the next couple days, but it does not have a Cd drive or USB ports. The only I/O devices it has are an Ethernet port and a Floppy drive. How can I install Puppy? Can I do it over the internet? I could connect it to a LAN, does that help? Is there a way to boot from floppy and have that start a network installation? I could even use many floppies if that would work (although that would be kind of anoying to use that many floppies).
Thanks for any help!
Install without Cd or USB?

Might look at this procedure. I used it and it works great. I modified the setup a little to boot from a floppy.
