A list of laptops that boot from USB?
Is there a list of laptops that can boot from the USB port somewhere out in cyberspace? Im on a mission to save dying laptops from the landfills and need to gather as much info on linux laptop setups as possible. To date I have allready saved two laptops from the garbage man. One is a IBM thinkpad 385xd with 32mb of ram and the other is a Micron Trek2 with 192mb of ram. In bios there is an option to boot from a removable drive,yet I have not been able to boot from usb yet. This is why I need such a list. If how ever, there is not such a list online,Id like to create one here on LQ. If you now of an old laptop the can boot from USB without the use of a boot floppy,could you please let me know.. When(and if) I can get the Micron Trek2 to boot from USB I will be adding that to the list. The IBM thinkpad Im pretty sure that it does not boot from usb. However I think it can boot from the PCMCIA card slot.
