Re: booting Toshiba Tecra 8100 off CD-ROM
Nice to hear I'm not the only Tecra 8100 Debian user :-) I was afraid my
CD-DVDROM player was broken ...
Should a bug be filed against this problem ?
Mike, did you get your sound card working ? Mine is still silent.
I got the built-in winmodem working and the 3D graphic card. I'm putting my
install notes together and will put them on the web so anyone can get useful
hints.
If anyone has info about this install, please let me know and I'll add it.
Eric
