Extremely ancient! I have an Olivetti Echos P90s. I've checked and sadly it's not possible to connect it via a cable :-(

It must be a truely ancient laptop if it doesn't. It's not a Dell Insprion is it? What normally happens is that the CDROM can be connected top the parallel port via a special cable which carries the signal and enough power for the drive.... -----Original Message----- From: Tom Harris [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, January 27, 2002 5:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] installing 8.1 I just bought Mankrake 8.1 Standard edition but I am having trouble installing. The problem is that my laptop as a space for a floppy drive and CD-ROM drive however I can only have one in at once at my BIOS won't allow me to boot from a CD. Because I cannot use both floppy and CD at once I can't use a boot disk. The only workaround I can think of is to go into dos or whatever and open the install file but I don't what it is. Please could someone reply and tell me the name of the file.
