This must be at least 10yrs old but in prestine cosmetic shape.
Pentium II, 233MHz, 92MB RAM, 8G HD. Runs windows 98 slowly with freq crashing. This has no CD (I have no external CD driver). Has USB connection and I have a memory card.
Peeking at the bios, it has no option to startup from USB (too bad since I could've just put the antiX there!), but does have option of PCMCIA card.
How can I get this machine working?, most drastic way is to take the HD out and install the antiX on another laptop and put the HD back in but I am lazy....
Would appreciate the help from the experts.

If it won't boot usb and it doesn't already have a Linux on it the easiest way may to be just remove the drive and use another machine to install and then replace it. Any other way would require Linux already installed I believe. Unless of course you can borrow a external cd drive.
