The only HD on this computer has an ext2 partition and swap. I want to copy a bunch of files (to begin the lfs project)... So I dont really want to install an OS, yet. I can either download these files from the net, or copy them from a CD.

My nic doesnt seem to like linux defaulty. I tried booting in Knoppix 3.2... didnt like my nic, so no internet. I can't eject the CD because it's being used by knoppix.

I tried Tom's RB (linux boot off floppy). Still doesn't like my nic... so no net and my cdrom doesnt show under /dev/cdrom so I can't mount it.

any suggestions??
