Hi,
I have a perplexing problem. I want to run a single floppy distro
(Bering) on a box that has been through the wars. I have no monitor
for it and all the serial ports have been fried in a lightning strike.
The distro runs (I can ping the box), but the floppy is too small to
install ssh or anything similar that I know about. Without ssh I can't
even get the ppp link up.
The old Laplink for dos systems had a self installing system. That
sounds like a security nightmare, but I wonder if there is anything
similar that I can use to transfer communications software onto this.
Any help gratefully accepted.
Cheers,
Alan
