[linux-help] Re: Laptop Installation of Linux

[J T <kovar_the_squishy@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bill,I've seen a few linux laptop installs.  The trickiest they have ever 
gotten is that a boot floppy was needed.  At least that has been my 
experience.If the laptop will not boot from your CD just look for a boot floppy 
image.  If it has that you should be in buisness.  Lemmie know how it 
went.JT(known to some as the Squishy One) --- Bill Byrne  wrote:> I have a
