Here's a guess at what may be happening: 1) CDs are made bootable by including a floppy image in the beginning of the CD image. 2) Red Hat is using a 2.88 MB floppy image on the 7.2 and 7.3 CDs 3) Some older Toshiba laptops, including my 1998 Satellite 320 CDT, only know how to boot from 1.44 MB floppy images. Check Google or the Toshiba site for an updated bios. If that fails, you'll have to find a replacement floppy drive (EBay is good for that). It might also be possible to take out the hard drive, stick it in a desktop PC, install Linux there and put the drive back. But I've never tried that.
