Have done exactly this with debian, only I used a PCMCIA network card and
|
|
did it off ftp.esat.net (ucd bandwidth is rather good).
|
|
|
|
However, if you've another machine, look into this null modem cable jobby:
|
|
|
|
http://rosebud.sps.queensu.ca/~edd/t100cs.html
|
|
|
|
whether you can connect that to direct cable connectionI've no idea. You
|
|
could however, put the files onto windows, boot onto a ILUG BBC[tm] and
|
|
mount the fat32 partition.
|
|
|
|
Easier/Quicker way is to get your hands on a PCMCIA nic. Also makes the
|
|
maptop far more useful in the long run.
