[GRLUG] Installing Linux w/out CD Drive.

[Jason Kisner]

haha. Thanks for all the offers, but unfortunately I don't have a computer
that can run the discs, at all. I can explore the discs, but not run them. I
was hoping for a completely, or mostly, disc-less installation. Since the
discs are pretty much useless. And I'm not willing to pay the extra 30$ for
an external CD reader yet. Nor do I have a way over to Cornerstone,
unfortunately. :P
