3 ways really seem practical and yet fit the minimalistic approach.
1 - RW CDROM which i might buy just to be part of this..
2 - Zip drive
3 - LS120
Oh yeah and superformatted floppies ;-))
Well lets do it! i always wanted to get this working properly and well
got it working ok but since i did not get the answers to stick around i
bailed. we need good install docs that answer the basic install step by step
including creating the disk ..etc . good idea is to learn to modulate it IMHO.
