hi everyone,
wonder if anyone can help?

I have a tiny protege toshiba laptop from work.  its a bit old but came 
with xp pre-installed so it can't be too antique . pentium3 processor.  
i would like to get rid of windows and install linux on it.  however, it 
has no cd-rom due to its size.  i don't think it has an option to boot 
from usb either.  it says it has fdd emulation via usb. the other option 
is to boot from the network with pbx i think its called.

any ideas how i can get the damn thing to boot from a usb drive or a 
cd-rom?  i don't have the docking station which it obviously can be 
booted from.

many thanks,
Jon.
