1.7GHz, 80GB Hard disk Intel<br>Celeron. Can I speed it up somehow by doing the install using a<br>text-only command-line install? Is there an easy way to do that?</blockquote>
<div> </div>
<div>your system config is faster then mine so may be the celeron processor is the issue to make it slow as i have intel original and it works fine ...</div>
<div>for text only check the start boot options </div><br>

<br>this hard disk so that I can boot from a 1.44MB floppy and work with<br>the OS sitting on this hard disk?</blockquote>
<div> </div>
<div>dont have clue about that ... but a wild guess is may be you can install grub on the floppy and then point the kernel flag to the place in your harddisk sector </div>
<div>now i am all ears about this solution :)</div><br>
