Install problem with PCMCIA DVD-ROM

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I am having real difficulties installing FC5 on my Tablet PC Toshiba 3500.

It has no built-in CD or DVD, rather it's an external model that uses a PCMCIA card.

I have done the DVD from the image on the Fedora site.

I can boot from the DVD and I press Enter to get the installation going, It starts, I pick the language and keyboard, then it starts loading.

Then FC wants to know where the Installation files are: CD-ROM, Hard Drive, and 2 more choices.

If I pick CD-ROM it wants a driver or driver disk - and none of the offered choices work...

I have researched the web for a few weeks now and have no idea what to do next.

I have some info on creating a floppy to load the Linux driver for PCMCIA to load on the floppy first, but I am at a loss to do this - I am new to Linux and want to learn it - but I need to install it first.

Can anyone shed some light ??? any ideas ???

Many thanks.

Denis
