-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
I've installed Debian on a Toshiba SS S4/275PNHW (a while back already) and finally got around to putting together a diff against boot-floppies that is needed to install. # I got a little "distracted" trying to return the pre-loaded OS and still am :-| (see http://www13.0038.net/~olaf/no-return.en.html for details). This laptop has neither internal CD-ROM, nor internal floppies so some boot-floppies patching was required to get it going. I don't know if this model is available outside Japan. Toshiba recently released two derived models, the S5/280PNKW and S5/280PNLN , that should be installable with my customized boot floppies. # Note, I do not recommend any of these computers. As a matter of fact, I'd recommend you buy *no* Toshiba products at all if you care about your rights as a customer. I've installed on my S4/275PNHW in a variety of ways using these patched boot-floppies and a set of woody pre-release CD-ROMs: boot kernel/drivers base system smart media USB floppy USB CD-ROM USB floppy USB floppy USB CD-ROM smart media USB stick drive USB CD-ROM I haven't tried but am pretty sure you could even install from a single USB stick drive (using the 2.88MB floppy image and a minimal file system containing the kernel, drivers and base system packages in the right places). Anyway, the patch and instructions to build custom boot floppies are available via: http://www13.0038.net/~olaf/floppies.en.html Time permitting, I'll polish up and add my installation/configuration notes. - -- Olaf Meeuwissen GnuPG key: 91114EAF/C3E1 2D40 C7CC AEB2 FB15 8BDF 60C2 5B3F 9111 4EAF -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE92htmYMJbP5ERTq8RAnj5AJ4s0UZZ/IY+9ZNsftUn7eH2ozkNNQCfWFik EHZhhgejMg9F+e/XPUsVt4o= =oMWx -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
