[ale] install question

[Tony Ucedavelez]

I have a Toshiba Portege 620CT that I got from my wife.  She bought it in 
Norway and it didn't come with a network card nor an external cdrom.  We 
just got back from there and I was able to get a Jensen network card 
specifically made for the laptop (couldn't find one anywhere in Atlanta or 
on the net).

Anyway, I want to install linux from my linux server I have at home, but 
first obviously I need to setup that network card.  My problem is setting 
it up without have an OS on my laptop.  What do I do?  Have anyone of you 
run into this problem before?  I have gone through the linux install a 
handful of times to see what other ways I have to install on my laptop, but 
I'm stuck on "installing from cdrom or local disk".  The cdrom I do have 
doesn't have a driver (it's a CMS Enhancements product) and not even 
driverguide or drivers.com could bail me out this time.

Any thoughts?

Tony
