I have a fairly old laptop that uses a special cable for the CD-ROM (which I can't find). I wanted to put Linux on it and it currently has Windows 2000 installed.
I thought about doing the netinstall from Debian, but wanted to try something different so I went to http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html and tried a Fedora 8 install. I ran the Gparted Distro first and that worked well and I was able to shrink my Windows partition. I then ran the Fedora install. It did take quite a bit of time (about 1 1/2 hours) just to get the OS installed. It was even longer for the updates (and I thought yum was faster this release). I don't know if I would recommend this for an install every time, but without a CD/DVD it sure came in handy. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
