This may be blindingly obvious to some, but it took me several years to figure it out and I thought I might save someone else the time ;-)
My wife has an LC 575 that she uses for bookkeeping etc. It's a floppy-only model and has had problems with the hard drive for years – problems that required booting from another disk. Unfortunately none of the utilities that would fit on a minimal boot floppy would do the trick (and to be honest, I was just too lazy to dig out a CD drive and go through the hassle of trying to burn a bootable CD), so how I got around it was to set up a 2MB RAM disk (in the Memory Control Panel) and copy Norton to it and then boot from the floppy drive and launch the Norton from the RAM disk.
I thought it was terribly clever!
