Toshiba Laptop (same problem)
I aquired a Toshiba T1910CS Satellite and I have been trying for 2 weeks
trying to get Linux onto w/o any luck. I have done some research and found
out that it wont boot from any disk larger the 720k. I heard that the only
way to get linux on that machine is to take it apart, connect the laptop's
hard drive to a desktop computer and then install. I tried to take it apart
and I couldnt even get that far (it felt like if i forced it anymore I would
bust it).
BTW If you want to access the BIOS settings just press ESC on boot. My
concearn lays in the fact that the laptop is not y2k compliant and that the
fix for that is for windows only. I don't believe that I would ever buy a
Toshiba laptop again. (not that I bought this one)
If you have made any progress I would like to hear it becuase I am about to
throw the thing in my junk pile.
Thanks, Jim
