If they have USB, you might be able to make do with just USB drives (either thumb drives or USB CD-ROM drives, or USB hard drives), though an older BIOS may not support booting from CD-ROM. For installing, if they have network cards and an option in the BIOS to boot from the network, you could do a network install (I don't know if Antix has an option to do this, but it's pretty common (http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Network-Install-HOWTO.html) > Any leads you can give me on CDROM drives, anywhere between dirt cheap > and free, are appreciated. You could try Absolute Computing on 7401 Menaul -- if I remember right their CD-ROM drives run between $5-15.
