Debian on Thinkpad 755C with NO cd-rom drive

2005-01-17 Thread Ioana Glitia
Has anyone installed Debian or any kind of Linux on an IBM Thinkpad 755C (or anything similar) that only has a floppy drive, no cd-rom drive and no network connection? I've got a pc with network connection of course so I could get whatever I need on floppies. Also, the specs are not encouraging

etter though if you have 36MB. If you use a smaller wm you'll probably get better performance than I did. Seth On Mon, 17 Jan 2005, Ioana Glitia wrote: Has anyone installed Debian or any kind of Linux on an IBM Thinkpad 755C (or anything similar) that only has a floppy drive, no cd-rom

mount /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device

I've installed the base system of Debian (from the 20 floppy disks) on my IBM 755C Thinkpad (it has no cd-rom and only 20 MB RAM as I said in a different mail). When I try to mount a floppy disk it says: end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy), sector 64 /dev/fd0: Input/output error end_reque

The floppy is read with no problems by the suse 9.2 on my pc. Joerg Beyer wrote: On Tue, Jan 18, 2005 at 12:08:12AM +0200, Ioana Glitia wrote: I've installed the base system of Debian (from the 20 floppy disks) on my IBM 755C Thinkpad (it has no cd-rom and only 20 MB RAM as I said
