I am a novice in Linux & I would appreciate your help. I've tried to load Debian 2.2r4 into my Toshiba CF-25. This laptop has no CD-ROM. Normally I use either my Backpack CD-Rewriter from Microsolutions or EXP's CD-RW station. Both drives use parallel printer port as an interface and they work fine on DOS or Win. I've called EXP support and they only can tell that their drive is supported by a new Linux kernel.
I was able to install kernel using INSTALL.BAT from FAT partition, but nothing else. The best would be to get these drives to work with Debian, but if this couldn't be done how to make Win directory visible from Linux so I can install X and other packages? I do not have much experience with Linux but any help will be valued greatly. Thanx Joe
