| 333207 | 2005-03-11 14:15:00 | Hi, I was wondering if there is any way to boot a toshiba tecra 720cdt to a cd? If anyone here has any experience with installing a linux os on here I would most definetly need the help. Any help is appreciated. | Trebile34 (7569) | ||
| 333208 | 2005-03-11 19:10:00 | Hi and Welcome to PressF1 :) You can boot your CD by starting with a boot floppy disk first. The boot floppy image is normally found on the installation CD of most distro's. Your laptop is rather old, and from my searching appears to be a P1 133 MHz with 16-24 MB of RAM and a small hard drive of about 1 gig? What distro are you planning on installing on this machine? You will need a very light weight distro with that amount of RAM, or an old version of a distro which supports those specifications. I found a brief installation guide for your laptop by someone who installed Red Hat 6.2 on it - here (www.freedos.org). |
