Hi, just to share something wonderful.

I was really struggling to install Linux on a laptop with no CD drive
which was unable to boot from a USB pen drive. All it had was a
working copy of Windows and a bootable USB floppy drive. I tried all
sorts of approaches including several floppy Linuxes and trying to
chain load the USB stick, but nothing would work. Then I found
possibly the easiest solution ever - why didn't I find this first????

It's awe inspiring just to read the main text on the page:

"Click on the image to install Debian GNU/Linux"

So I did ... and that's exactly what happened. Amazing!
