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!
