I have the same problem: notebook with cdrom not working anymore, there
is no system on the computer; hard drive have 3 partitions: hdc1 ext2
10gb, hdc2 ext3 29gb and swap 1gb

I have 256 mb pen drive and 40gb external usb drive and access to
internet (static IP) and a few windows servers where I can store files.

Is it possible to install dapper?
