It should be possible, but I have not personally used the Debian
distribution. If someone would like to arrange to get me a Debian
CD, I'll have a look at the details of installing from PARIDE devices.

If you have sufficient disk space, you can use the DOS drivers to load
the CD into a DOS partition on your laptop and then install from that.
Failing that, the Debian folks will have to explain how to add a new
driver to their bootdisk and installer.
