Need help with installing Debian on a COMPAC PRESARIO 5716
I'm now going to install debian on a third machine. So far everything
has gone nice, but the third machine is a bit troublesome.
It is a COMPAC PRESARIO 5716. The problem is that this machine shows a
big red Q at startup and no BIOS info. I therefore do not know which
keys to press to access the BIOS in order to turn on CD-ROM booting. It
currently boots from floppy first before hard disc.
So is it possible to make one or perhaps two floppy boot discs that
could boot it up and the switch to do the rest of the installation from
the CDs I have of Potato TC 2 ?
I don't want to install RedHat as it is my fathers machine and he is no
computer expert. apt-get/dselect is much easier to use than rpm.
