The standart method would be to use the usb drives that should've come with the laptop originally... Only I got it second hand, with a broken touchscreen and an hdd that just refused to cooperate.
Since I got it like that, i have no other option other than just use my usb adapter (IDE 3.5 & 2.5, SATA) to drop the install.
I was thinking of dual-booting my Ubuntu install (current) and a OpenBSD install to soon be installed in some free space I have on another drive.
Just to get the hang of things...
Since I never had windows to start it's not a problem loosing it...
My desktop should turn all OpenBSD if I get it up and running nicelly. By the way... It's an AMD 64 (Venice Core) 3800+ X2, but i'll do a 386 install just to allow the laptop to use it... When I finally get the hdd, someday...
