[LUG] Wireless install

I have a friend trying to install his laptop.  It doesn't have a CD drive, 
only floppies (as far as I understand), but it does have a PCMCIA slot with a 
wireless network card in it.

Presumably, assuming the wireless card is linux-compatible, it'd be possible 
to install linux onto it?  Are linux boot floppies, eg. the ones that come 
with Mandrake, usually compatible with the same network cards as the full OS?

I think he's currently trying to get Win98 onto it :-( but if I could tell him 
how he could get linux onto it, he might give it a try.

Cheers,

Jon
