RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] An EMC question

you may want to do more research... as it's been awhile since i've done that
kind of install,
but what you want to do (i think) is to boot with a root-boot floppy (i used
tom's root boot floppy)

http://www.toms.net/rb/

and fdisk the drive, create your partitions, one being only for the
installation stuff (like 650 megs or so--the same size as a CD) then copy
the stuff over, NOW, i dont think it's feasible to get the par-port CD up
and running under toms... so im not sure how to get the rpms over...? do you
have access to multiple drives? or anything like that?
