[NTLUG:Discuss] OT - laptop, floppy and CD share a bay, other OS

[fredjame]

The objective is to take this old PIII 600Mhz laptop and make it into a 
game computer for a couple of small children (oldest is 4), where they 
can play some stuff like Disney games - all Win95 and Win98 compatible 
stuff.

The box was running NT, but the hard drive has been repartitioned using 
fdisk from a Win98 boot disk - had to use delpart to delete partitions 
first, and the 300+MB machine special partition has been saved.
The problem is the CD-ROM/floppy situation - only has one bay, and
(1) if the floppy is in, loading a CD driver fails because it can't find 
the CD
(2) if the CD is in, it won't run because there isn't any driver.

Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to offer.

By the way - absolutely no problem with Mandrake Linux 9.1 - went on 
like a champ - but then we knew Linux can handle this kind of stuff.
