Olivetti Echos P100D installation probs, CD nont bootable

[Harry Kuhman]

The processor is a P100. I have got a very similar laptop and have got Debian Sarge running on it, with X, Windowmaker, bsdgames and Kate. It is powerful enough to learn scripting and run Kate to help with my syntax. This is all I want from the Olivetti.

I was going to install Knoppix to hdd, then run dselect and have a similar set-up, I just wanted to use Knoppix's great hardware detection..

Well, if it boots it will be dirt slow. I'm pretty sure that you will not get the CD installed. But you might be able to boot, go do something else, come back much later, and find that Knoppix has detected your hardware. Maybe you can determine from that what Knoppix has figured out and apply the information to Debian (If you figure out how to do this tell the rest of us). Good Luck.

Will do.
