The Linux Laptop Page, was a real help. Also the suggestion of Debian. I tried installing that from CD and it worked like a champ, where as the original distro I wanted still does not boot from cd. used Debian before will use it again. I did find out the A-drive problem was that the disk was mislabeled as my boot disk.

So far I have not been able to get Linux installed since the cd-rom does not recognize the Linux boot sector. I have found this to be true also to some degree with the a-drive. When I do get it to boot, there is a problem with the video, just going blank. > Orig Msg> > Orig Msg> Has anyone here installed Linux on a Toshiba? Any good hints? Also, if there has been success... which distribution? I have been to slashdot, and freshmeat, and have not seen that much said, nor the Toshiba website.
