I've been reading here and online about how to network to pc's together, however nothing about one pc having no o.s.
Let me elaborate, I have an xp home desktop pc and bought a Windows 98 from a pawn shop. I couldn't get the 98 to boot up so out of desperation, I just erased the o.s. off altogether.
I would like to install linux on it instead, however it does not have a cd-rom drive. I've tryed to install a cd-rom but every drive I try isn't plug and play and I don't have drivers.
Can I network the two pc's together to install linux?
Each pc has an ethernet, usb, and parallel port. But when I tryed to boot up the 98 it would give warnings about the ethernet card.
