Hi all...I am soooo lost...lol
I am trying to learn Linux lanuage and programing and want to install a version of it on my toshiba A305-S6837 laptop.
The cd drive is not working but I do have a Passport 1TB drive (usb) and a pendrive I created with Puppy version is: Linux puppypc 2.6.21.7 #1 set aug 30 18:33:20 GMT-8 2008 GNU/Linux
If there is a better version...let me know please.
The HD seems to be ok...no errors on diag. Video is good.
2 things I want to do and can't seem to get a hang on it:
Reformat the HD and install Puppy on it to boot and
Get the 2wire919 to be recognised and get me online to the wireless.
Hope you can help!
Regards,
Gololf

Hope yuou can help,
