Toshiba Equium What Linux Distribution To Install
Hi
I have a new Toshiba Equium A60 Laptop. I have tried to install Mandrake 10.1 2005 Edition onto it and once it has loaded it will crash the machine after a few mins or even seconds. Any ideas on what this problem could be? I am using this version of Mandrake currently on a Desktop PC fine. I have also tried installing debian onto this machine but i cant even get to the install part. I get a Kernel Panic error when booting the install cd. Or is there a better Free Linux distribution i can try on this Laptop. Any help would be great. |
slackware. I don't have that model but i have a 2 month old toshiba and slack works fine.

I have the same machine but with Fedora 4 installed.
The problem I had was that the machine just switched off after a few minutes due to over heating during the install. I solved it by setting the power management to maximum (CPU max and the fan is working all the time). I did this in the BIOS - (ALT-ESC at boot time I think it was). Grim |
