Hello again:
Another problem I've been bugging the group about was trying to get a new
(2.4 kernel) version of linux installed on a Compaq presario laptop. I
finally found the solution on the web courtesy of a Thai fellow named
Thaweesak Buaratcharoen. A web search revealed lots of different Linux
install instructions for Presarios, but only this one worked.
For the Mandrake 9.1 install, the switches were: 'alt0 nousb nomce noauto'.
I'm not even sure what the "nomce" does, but hey, it works, kind of like
"Wingardium leviosa" in a Harry Potter movie.
There were similar switches on other distros. As has been said many times
in this group "Google is our friend."
