(a) The easiest way to do that, of course, is to purchase an external CD/DVD drive for your netbook system. This will allow you to install any Windows application that comes on a disk (which would cover *most* Windows applications). (b) If you have access to another system with a disk drive, and a thumb (USB) drive at least 4 Gb in size, you can use that other suystem to copy all the files from the DVD disk to the thumb drive and then use the thumb drive to install to your netbook. (c) Usually, netbooks are connected to some kind of home network in order to access the internet. If that’s the case, it’s very likely that that the home network includes a system with a DVD disk reader. You can share the DVD on a computer on your home network and then access it from the netbook to install the program. ** You may want to also visit the TLDCN user forums (http://www.undertowsoftware.com/forums) to see how other users may have handled installing on a netbook.
