Hi all,
Trying to install Linux on an oooollllddd laptop for fun.
Yes, I'm just a sickie.
But the problem is this thing won't boot to a CD.
It has a CD, but the BIOS won't let me boot to a CD.
I can't even reinstall (God Forbid) Winduhs on it because of course I have to boot to floppy then put a CD in... but I cant' because the CD and Floppy won't hot swap.
Is there no chance for this Linux install?
Thanks!
In a world without walls or fences,
who needs Windows or Gates?
