Title: Message

From the FAQ's:

 

"You can connect a floppy disk drive to the pen tablet. A Portable Port Expander or Port Replicator is required to connect a floppy disk drive to the Point 510 and Stylistic 1200. The Mini-Dock is required to connect a floppy disk drive to the Stylistic LT.

You can copy the installation files to a PCMCIA hard disk drive and then install the software from the hard drive.

You can install the software using a CD-ROM drive connected to the parallel port or the PC Card slot.

You can use a PCMCIA network adapter and install the software from another computer on your network. "

Basically, you install the OS on another machine, and get drivers for
whatever device you want to use working.  You then swap the HDD over to the
Fujitsu and install the drivers it needs from the CD you installed or
(prefereably) a network card.

I have a Stylistics 1000 running Suse 2.4.  The OS was installed on another
machine, and HDD moved over to the laptop.  I used a generic network card to
install all extra drivers/software.  It's quite funky, but not quick enough
to run X.
