Hi, A friend of mine wants to install Debian on his laptop. He recently ordered the CDs and tried to install it using a CD drive attached to his parallel port. He tells me that unfortunately linux didn't recognise the parallel port, or atleast, couldn't access his CD through it. Any ideas?
I'm sorry this information is a bit vague at the moment, but I haven't been able to have a personal look at it yet. My friend is actually a senior member of the mathematics department of my university and has a fair degree of influence, so it would be good to have him become a Debian user. However if he can't get Debian working soon, I suspect he will go for another distribution. Thanks, Mark. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Phillips [EMAIL PROTECTED] "They told me I was gullible ... and I believed them!" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
