Hi Ed: Just downloded, burned and installed the distro and I am incredibly impress by the speed. It is probably faster than my desktop. I have not even killed inet, cron, syslog and other stuff I do not really care for. I will load mysql and apache and see how that works but it will be later. I will let you know. The file manager looks very cool too.
About your question, I have never had USB compiled into any kernel so I would not even know where to begin. In the midtime I would just get me a floppy I were your and figure out the rest later. I do not know what I am talking about here but I would probably start by looking into grub to see if it can be setup that way. I imagine that since you install this in the MBR this is a possibily. I do not think the BIOS can do that in your laptop or you would have the option. take care, Alvaro On Thu, 2004-04-01 at 12:13, Ed wrote: > Alvaro Zuniga wrote: > > >Thank you ed, downloading now.
