Tricky one...
Here's my problem:
I have a laptop running Windows XP Pro with no internal CD or Floppy drives. I want to install Linux on it. I don't care about the Windows XP Pro installation, in fact I would like to install Linux over the entirety of the HD. However I cannot boot from any external CD drive (via USB, PCMCIA, Firewire) as my BIOS does not support this (the drive is not detected soon enough to be used as a boot device). I have another Windows XP machine with a CD drive as well as a DVD drive. If I network the two is it possible to boot the laptop from the installation disk loaded into the CD/DVD drive of the other machine? If so, how would I accomplish this? Many thanks for any advice.

You must boot from a linux kernel image. You might be able to install the image on your hard drive and use a program like "Partition Magic" for similar program to boot of the installed image on the HD.
