title pretty much says it all. I have a resonably old computer that cant boot off of usb. and i want to install it to a usb hdd. I dont have a cd drive so i will have to use the floppy network install (i did this before). This is the only distro that I know of that has a floppy install. i have searched but the wiki search brings up like 500 results that are irrelevant. so in short this is what i need:
a floppy to be able to boot from a usb hdd
a guide that can show me how to install from a network install floppy setup to a usb hdd
if i remember correctly, the floppy network install is much much different than the cd install.
