But Please Help! I found an old laptop, a TI TM7000--TravelMate 7000 to fool around with. Since I am just re-famaliarizing myself with Unix type OS, I thought that I would load FreeBSD or any compatible "Unix Flavor" onto it for the purpose of practicing commands, refeshing myself with the system, etc. However, I seem to have a problem. This laptop has no cdrom drive only a floppy. There is a 2gig HD, and 64megs of ram. I have search the interenet with no sucess to date. I am even thinking to use some type of embedded os, due to its compact size. But to get it onto floppies is the consideration. Could any of you suggest a small unix type os downloadable onto floppies which I might use.
