G'day!
Just a brief inquiry.
I noticed on your web site that you have an Installfest planed for
this coming Saturday, the venue listed as TBA.
Is this still going ahead? If so, could you please tell me where? (I
REALLY need some help!)

Hi all
I got myself a nice new laptop on the weekend. Dying to install linux on it
but cant as the bios cant see the dvd/cdrom and so I cant boot ANY cd from
this device.
The laptop is badged pioneer but it is a mitac 8355 (athlon 64 bit, 1GB
RAM). The bios is Insyde Mobile Pro Bios 4.00.05
I'm running woody on a mail server, but woody is just too far behind, so
I'm considering going to testing.
Does anyone have any advice about simply doing an upgrade? are there any
disasters to look out for? Would the Debian gurus suggest a simple
upgrade, or should I build a complete new box to

Hey Bevan,
Have you set up the BIOS so it boots from the CD/DVD drive before the
hard disk drive? There should be some option in the BIOS so that it
tries to boot from the CD first, then the hard disk, etc. After you
have Linux installed, you can easily change the order back, so that it
speeds up
