Linux and Toshiba

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
