Hello I have just bought a used powerbook 5300 and I know almost nothing about Macs, although I like them. The computer works fine, has a working floppy drive and an ethernet card (Xircom CEM56-100). I would like to install Linux on it. I might try a network instalation but I have to boot from the floppy first (I don't have a CD drive). I built a bootable floppy but the computer doesn't try to boot from it when I use it. Is there any possibility that I could change the boot order? Is it possible to access the BIOS? Is it possible to boot from the floppy? Thank you, Pedro
