    You need loram.

    Others have had trouble installing without cd and trying to boot from usb. There was a lot of information on the old forum.

    Some options-

    Boot from online, which seems to allow loram, especially if you have high-speed internet ( http://boot.slitaz.org/ ).
    Use an external cd.
    Use an external hd.
    Use a zip drive.
    Install a micro linux that fits on a few floppies and allows you to copy slitaz onto the hd from somewhere else.
    Use a lan connected to a better computer.
    Remove hd and connect it to a better computer to install slitaz on the removed hd.

Howdy, Stranger!
