Sorry for the inconvenience, but I was unable to read the various
replies to my questions due to an error on my part. Could those that
responded to my questions please resend their replies direct to me this
time, or it would be helpful if someone is willing to forward the
messages to me.

The original message is as follows:

I have a Toshiba Libretto 50 which I want to install Linux to. It does
not have a CD Rom, only a PCMCIA floppy which is configured in the BIOS.
Can I install Red Hat Linux from floppies and where do I get "images"
from? Will I be able to "hot swap" PCMCIA devices? Will I be able to use
my Nokia 5110 Digital phone to access the internet as I can currently do
under windows?

Any further help from someone who has installed Linux to this laptop
would be greatly appreciated.

Regards, Chris
