I have an old Dell laptop, a Pentium 1 with 64 MEGs of RAM and cannot boot
from CD because I lost my BIOS password.

Is there a way to install Linux other than booting from the install.
I do not have an ethernet card on the laptop.

Thank You


there should be a way to reset the bios...

if there is a cmos battery...if you remove it and leave it out for a while
it should reset...

there are also utilites to recover the cmos password...
(may come up on google)
