Solve : Install Linux on old laptop with floppy drive? |
Answer» I have an old SONY Vaio PCG laptop with a corrupt Windows 2000 Pro installed on it. I don't really care about that because it is old but I would like to revive it with a small LINUX distribution. My laptop has 128mb RAM, I'm not sure about the HD size but I know it is several gigabytes. I also have a Linksys Wireless-N card, an external floppy drive that works well and an external CD drive that doesn't seem to work when I TRY to boot from CD (it is LISTED first on the BIOS as Atapi CD Drive though). I tried to install Debian from netinstall floppies but I only received a bunch of errors when loading the boot floppy. I like UBUNTU but the requirements may be too high. My best option would be to install from a floppy and do a network install of some OS (hoping the wireless card will work). What can I do???If you do this, you might come across this. Hopefully you can find some help there. |
