Linux on Dell laptop?

[Cheryl Homiak]

Just so there's no confusion, my laptop isn't a dell, but here's what I 
could find. By the way, to narrow down results, try going to google/linux 
instead of just google.
http://weblog/cemper.com/x.php?7=www.koeneglich.de/dell_8600.html
tells wht works and how from this person's view but does not mention 
floppy; may be other links there.
If you go to google/linux and put in dell inspiron 8600 you get some 
entries; also some if you add the word floppy or install floppy. I didn't 
read all those; 
they weren't about slackware install but might give you some clues.
Btw, several entries seemed to mention a usb floppy; do you know what kind 
of floppy you have?
hth.
