Hi list,
i got a new small laptop but it didnt own a cdrom drive or a internal
network chip
to do a network install. Is there a possibility to install plan9 over
floppy disk?

Greetings
eSpo

it is possible to boot from a floppy, but there isn't a full distribution
on floppies.

curious; this is a *new* laptop that *does* have a floppy but has neither a
cdrom nor an ethernet port?

i'd look for a cheap cardbus network adaptor (one that is supported)
plan9 is much more interesting in a network.
