Re: [Plug] How to load linux on a laptop??
|
What about booting off the cdrom? My laptop doesnt have a cdrom, so I
wound up doing an NFS install. I'd think the easiest thing to do would
be to boot off the cd.
J.
When I grow up, I wanna be more like me.
I had a clue. I didn't like it. I took it back and exchanged it for an
attitude.
