The network adaptor is the coupling between the ps2 and hdd, so a hdd on its own is quite useless. If your looking to obtain a new linux boot cd I'll speak to Sarah Ewen, on monday, to see if that's possible. (But I've never heard of anyone wanting a linux kit without the hdd, that used to be one of the reasons why people wanted the linux kit) James Nigel Critten wrote: > i was thinking of using another one I have lying around, I thought the > interface was in the network card, if its on the harddrive then > obviously I'd need that :) > > Nigel > > James Burns wrote: > >> Erm, as far as I know its virtually impossible to run Linux for PS2 >> without a harddrive :) >> >> Nigel Critten wrote: >> >>> Is it possible to buy the linux kit without a harddrive? >>> >>> Cheers >>> Nigel
