if you haven't got a supported floppy disk drive you can still install the
system, if you've got a CD drive, and
if you've got Windows 9x running, with
ftp, but you need to do much of the installation by hand,
and you'll need a version of the kernel that
runs off a CD (booting the kernel from the hard disk).
i've just had to do that with a new thinkpad a22e.
you can even do it without the ethernet, but you'll need
to transfer the 9pccd kernel some other way.
