 SS>> There is a laptop, ancient. It only has 128MB of RAM (and a 40GB

Thanks, I'll watch this.

There is a CD-rom, but it does not read modern cd-r for some unknown reason.
So far I have come to this option: I removed the HDD, connected it via an
IDE-2-USB adapter to a full-fledged laptop, created a virtual machine with
this physical disk through VMWare player on it, and on this disk I plan to
install Linux from an iso image, and after installation, connect the hdd back
to the old laptop - this is the design!
