Last weekend I tried to install Centos 5.0 into my old Toshiba 4200.
No luck. The installation process stop in different places.
Any recommendations?
I tried Startcom which is also redhat based and the installation
process ended successfully.
I will keep trying to see if I can get my laptop to run Centos.
I will also share my findings when trying to get my laptop to connect
to the internet using bcm43xx using fwcutter, if that is ok you guys?
