Well, it's a lot easier to say that than do it. Changing *anything* is a matter of opening the case, unplugging the four cables going to the DVD drive and the hard drive, unplugging the power cable to the 6600GT and fans, taking that out, unscrewing and removing the drive bay, and then doing whatever it is you want to do.
Anyway, I'm doubtful of the floppy thing working, not to mention I don't have a floppy drive I *know* works. Plus, while trying to get the floppy drive installed, apparently I broke one end of the SATA cable and will have to get a replacement tomorrow.
How well does Cedega work these days? I could give a shot at going all-Linux; the only things keeping me on Windows are mostly game-related. I've made a conscious effort to try and shift over to OSS (Firefox/thunderbird of course, OpenOffice, AbiWord, etc.) so a lot of the 'work' programs I'm familiar with already run natively on Linux. I might even try setting up a 32-bit chroot this time.
