Re: T22 IO-Card FRU replacement

Since we were talking laptops, and I am new to this forum; Please forgive 
the unconventiionality of my request... But Please Help!

I found an old laptop, a TI TM7000--TravelMate 7000 to fool around with.  
Since I am just re-famaliarizing myself with Unix type OS, I thought that I  
would load FreeBSD or any compatible "Unix Flavor" onto it for the purpose 
of practicing commands, refeshing myself with the system, etc.  However, I 
seem to have a problem.  This laptop has no cdrom drive only a floppy. There 
is a 2gig HD, and 64megs of ram. I have search the interenet with no sucess 
to date. I am even thinking to use some type of embedded os, due to its 
compact size. But to get it onto floppies is the consideration.

Could any of you suggest a small unix type os downloadable onto floppies 
which I might use.

Thanks

Ayo
