A better solution is to remove the hard drive from the laptop and
connect it to an IDE to USB adapter, then copy the I386 folder from the
CD to the hard drive (while the hard drive is connected to another
computer). Reinstall the hard drive in the 2805, reboot (possibly from
a floppy) and do the installation without needing the CD.
