The modern replacement is the USB flash drives that you are starting
to see along with gum and mints at the grocery store checkout in gig+ sizes.
I just sent in my claim form yesterday for a free 256mb flash drive from
Staples for purchasing two boxes of Avery labels.
It would be nice to get it -- I don't have a flash drive at the moment.
They are very handy - along with the external drives built around laptop
hard drives that go up to 160 gigs in a very small package. The catch
is that you'll need 2 to do the whole install or upgrade job. You can
use a small one to boot, but copying the boot image is going to wipe out
anything else on it. Then you need one large enough to hold the dvd
image (as a normal file) so you can select a hard disk install and
access it.
