I hope someone can give some ideas.
I have a Toshiba Portégé 3500 laptop. (P3 1.3GHz, 1 GB of RAM) It is a Tablet PC and has been running XP Pro Tablet Ed. I have been trying to install Fedora for many months already and am not giving up I have successfully installed Fedora 8 on many other PCs and laptops, but this one is a real challenge to me. It is a non-standard PC: no built-in CD-ROM, it uses a proprietary PCMCIA model from Targus made for this model, and special drivers are needed to run it, DOS drivers do exist, but no Linux drivers. I only use it to re-install Windows XP as the Toshiba recovery CDs need it. I do not care for the Tablet PC specific functions, as I use it as a standard laptop. I also have a standard external USB 2.0 CD/DVD-RW, however it will not boot from this but I do have an external FDD and it will boot from this. If I try to boot the Fedora DVD, using the PCMCIA CD-ROM it will get started, but then Anaconda will not recognize the device, and stops and no Linux drivers exists. So I figure I could use the USB CD/DVD-ROM, as I think this will be a valid device for Anaconda. I need specific instructions to create floppies to get a successful Fedora 8 installation. Can anyone help ? Thank you. Denis No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition. Version: 7.5.503 / Virus Database: 269.16.8/1154 - Release Date: 11/27/07 11:40 AM
