Yes floppy is the only way. Also i have an external CDROM which can be connected to it by || port. But i don't think that it would be possible the setup of linux under dat dos mode of CDROM connected by LPT-CD a software which gives a dos env.. @ boot when the External CDROM is attached to the || port and the floppy is inserted.


Using that LPT CD, i installed Win 98 on my another lappy of Pentium 100 Mhz.

UPDATE: Actually there was a virus in the lappy's Boot Record. To remove dat virus, we're planning to load linux and delete windows from it. Now WELCOMEB virus is cleared and problem solved. Anyways thanx guys for the links and solns.
