Thanks to everyone who sent me some help. I finally got Xandros re-installed
by using the floppy and CD plus jiggling the delete key. How it works, I have
no idea but thanks to Patrick who suggested the combination of magic passes.
Still no sign of any BIOS.
I now have the problem of getting Xandros to recognise my modem. It appears
the laptop has two. Unfortunately both are Winmodems which I understand are
often problems in themselves. They are shown as follows:
(1) Agere Systems
pci: 0x11C1, 0x441, 0x38. (Whatever all that means? Should I have
typed a capital O and not a zero?)
(2) Toshiba|FIR Port
driver: donauboe
Manu: Toshiba American Info Systems.
pci: 0x1179, 0x701, 0x50. (Again, is the zero really be a capital O?)
Would greatly appreciate some more advice.
John.
