No USB/Firewire, but it does have PCMCIA although I'd rather not put too
much money into peripherals for it.

By the way, I got Smart Bootloader loaded but get a "Disk Error" every time
I tell it to boot the CD (yes, all the port settings are right). I've looked
around and seen that this is a somewhat common error that no one seems to
know how to resolve.

I don't see where I can initiate an installation from DOS in either the
Xubuntu or Debian. I guess I'll be tearing the HD apart and installing the
OS from another machine.

Does the machine have a PCMCIA slot or Firewire/USB port?
