Re: boot file for laptop

[David Rittenhouse <kb8ync@xxxxxxxx>]

The only way to install linux on it (that i know of) is to pull the HDD
and put it into a desktop then install it, that series of laptops will
only let you boot off of a 720k floppy, even though it is a 1.44meg
floppy, I had the same problem so i went to toshiba's site and searched
for my laptop (T1950cs) and thats
where i found that it only boots off of 720k disks
