Re: [PLUG] "Current" Linux on old laptop


No. The whole point of using a floppy install was because my old Thinkpad 
can't boot from CDRom, so a Knoppix CD is useless. I've had RedHat 
installed on it previously and once the system is fully installed 
everything works with at least 2 of these network cards, that I know for 
sure. It just seems like the Debian install isn't playing nice.

I am going to try again and see if I can get anywhere with it.
Thanks
Marc
