  1. I would like to install Mandrake 9.2 in a box with an evil LG CD-ROM drive (GCR 8523B) where I can not update the firmware. * Firmware update is not possible since LG update should have the drive as secondary master. It is primary slave and I can't change because I can't open the box where it's installed (due to warranty issues); * Taking the box back to the assembler store is not possible, the box would be stopped for several days; * This a one full disk partition NTFS WinXP box, this partition should be resized (only 20% disk usage); * It must be download edition, my boss has a few spare WinXP licenses, and will not pay another SO license. In fact, everyone here wants Win, it's me against all, but that's MY work box. This is a Java/J2EE/PostgreSQL/JBOSS/Jbuilder WinXP development box. I'd rather use Linux. I have: * Download Edition, 3 CDs; * Broadband connection; * The will to install linux in a company that is completely pro MS :D Is there any way that I can install 9.2 in this box without: damage to the drive, opening the box, returning to assembler and NTFS resizing data loss? I was reading something about using floppy disk with a newer kernel image to install, is that possible? How?
