Web Browsing thru Floopy
LOAF, which stands for Linux On A Floppy. LOAF is available by surfing over to http://loaf.ecks.org/.
pick up loaf3.img, which contained the 3Com 3x59x driver.
dd if=loaf3.img of=/dev/fd0
put it in the driver and rebooted the PC.
When the login prompt comes up, just type root and away you go. To get LOAF to recognize your network and work on it, you need to execute the following commands:
ifconfig eth0 local_ip_address netmask your_network_mask broadcast broadcast_address
route add -net network_address
echo "nameserver gateway_address" > /etc/resolv.conf
route add default gw gateway_address
type [lynx http://www.linuxjournal.com]
