Hello:
I am attempting to install Mandrake on a P-266 laptop (with 32 megs of
RAM). This is one in the "sub-notebook" range, so the FDD is external and I
do not have it (got the unit used). I do have the external PCMCIA CD-ROM
drive. But, the CD is not bootable.
I tried following the directions using the RAWRITE program, but cannot seem
to get that to work. Looking around on the web page I saw about Linux4Win
and got that partially working (although a dual boot was not exactly what I
was looking for). But when it reboots and gets to the point where it wants
the PCMCIA support to load from the CD, it tells me to insert the PCMCIA
support disk. I don't seem to have one that will work properly?
Can anyone help me with this?
As a last resort, I do have other machines set up through a hub here. Could
I share the drives (FDD and CD-ROM) and load across an Ethernet link?
Thanks!
David
