So I installed dfly on my laptop now: 4 years old, keyboard broken, power plug socket somewhat broken, NIC socket somewhat broken, dvd drive broken (and removed by now).
How it’s done:
- Download and burn the installer ISO
- Boot on a different computer on the same network
- Select the Network install server on the second screen (after language selection) in the Installer
- Select the NIC to run it on
- PXE-Boot the laptop
- Get over the irritation of a NIC socket that has some defects (plugging in several times helped) - the dfly driver is more sensitive to that than the PXE driver that loaded the kernel
- Install on the Laptop as if you worked from the CD (actually, you do)
- Reboot Laptop
- Remove CD and reboot the other system
Done
I have to say, I’m very pleased!
