Hello World! I am new to Toshiba Linux Group and I have as yet to make my Toshiba 'Linux'. I am not yet ready to tamper with the Windows installation on my tablet in case the computer says no. I don't fancy installing on an old slow 12Gb 2.5 drive that I could use because I like Linux too much for that kind of space and disk speed limitation, plus the switching back to windows would be a bit physical, requiring a screwdriver pre boot. The alternatives are the PCMCIA card - to have it boot from there first - or 'Network PXE' from my 'Dell Linux Box' (650MHz Latitude, rescued from an office clearout and working a treat under Penguin Power). Does Flash work, or is it massively slow, particularly if 1Gb on a CF2 card, in a PCMCIA adapter? What about those microdrives, do they work, or can you get any i-Pod drives to fit in there? Or... is Network PXE over wireless the way to go? Any help with this conundrum will be much appreciated. Newbie Penguin Esq. ___________________________________________________________ All new Yahoo!
