I have tried everything I can think of to get linux on my Toshiba laptop. I 
tried RH 5.1 boot disk, RH 5.2 boot disk, RH 6 (made) boot disk, and I tried 
rawrite on the labtop. Nothing will boot that laptop. It has boot failure 
when I try any Linux boot disk. I use a win boot disk and it works fine. I 
checked the bios and the settings seem to be right. The processor is a 
486sx. The hard drive is only a 120mb. Any suggestions????? please feel free 
to tell me why this is not working out for me.

The farthest I got is trying to use a rescue disk from my other machine and 
it says no math emulator on the processor, giving up.

Thanks, Jim Pharis
