Re: Defeting Crappy Bios
There is nothing more that can be done in the bios as far as adding the cdrom etc. It is how it is and my only options right now are to figure out how to install linux after booting to a win98 floppy. :( I also fdisked the whole disk, so most of the bios features required the hardrive stuff which is no longer there. If I boot to a Debian floppy it just cycles the rebooting right after the Compaq splash screen. _ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Defeting Crappy Bios
I have a compaq computer I got for $30.00 and though a good price, has a really awful bios feature that not only only lets me boot to a floppy it won't boot to anything but a windows boot disk. I hostly can't explain it, but that is the state of things, so don't ask :) So my question is if there is a way to boot to a windows floppy, I have a win98 disk available so it's idea for me, and still install Linux. I'm also concered about being able to boot linux once it's install (if it's installed :) ) Thanks for any tips. By the way it's a Compaq Presario 4714 with a Pentium 1 and 24MB mem so on an so forth. _ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

appolgise for the name
Just noticed that when I signed up for this hotmail account I set the name as Linus Torvals to not give my real name, but this is of course a butchering of his name I belive and just generally not cool.
