  • snek, on 08/16/2008, -0/+1Hmm the article is a bit minimalistic. I've tried this before and failed because it didn't pick up the SCSI cd-rom drive I have for my ancient laptop or my USB stick. Since then I just installed a minimal Debian install through floppies & downloading the rest. After that you can install LUBI (http://lubi.sourceforge.net/) and install the distro of choice. It's a bit of a nasty workaround, but it gets the job done ;)
