I don't know, but one thing to consider, if all else fails, is... They
make these adapters that let you plug in a notebook hard drive to a regular
IDE cable... Load Linux on another box and move the hard drive back over.
Or, alternatively, copy the data to a partition on the IDE hard drive, and
install directly from there. The installer has an option for doing that...
I did expactly this when I got my latest laptop. You see, it didn't come
with a floppy or CD drive. You have to get this docking-station to get
either one...
