how to install rh8 in w2000 computer without flopy and cd-rom driver

[Jaap Hoetmer]

I guess depending on the availability of a network
card  that supports network boot, and the availability
of a netboot server, it could be done. I have done a
similar thing, installing Win2k on a notebook without
floppy drive. The external CDROM drive lacked BIOS
support for booting, but could only be accessed after
loading drivers. The only way out was netboot.

Regards,
Jaap
