Nick,

I've installed Linux on my Toshiba with only several 
small issues.  It turns out
that many people had the same problems and most are 
easily solved.  Here are a
couple of places to look for more information[1].

[1] Though most of the information is about the 
Portege, the suggestions worked
for my Satellite too.

Hello all.

    I recently was tasked to install Linux on a Toshiba 
Satellite laptop.  So
far I have not been able to get Linux installed since 
the cd-rom does not
recognize the Linux boot sector.  I have found this to 
be true also to some
degree with the a-drive.  When I do get it to boot, 
there is a problem with the
video, just going blank.

    Has anyone here installed Linux on a Toshiba?  Any 
good hints? Also, if
there has been success... which distribution?  I have 
been to slashdot, and
freshmeat, and have not seen that much said, nor the 
Toshiba website.  Anyone
know of any other good resources?

Nick
