5. network boot.
but when i start it with the drive in it just goes straight to the windoze xp loading screen.
am i doing anything wrong?
my computer is a toshiba sattalielt m30 laptop with bios ver 1.20
i found ver 1.70 on toshiba website but it wont install because it says its for a different machine even though i have contacted the tech support guys and they say it is for mine.
any ideas?

PS sorry if i'm being annoyin with all my questions
No, everything looks right.
Could you try on an other computer to check at least if the dongle setup is working ?
Did you ask the Toshiba tech support if the pc can boot from a usb dongle ?
Did you enable USB support in the bios ?
Good luck,
Gilles

Toshiba laptops / tablets don't support any USB booting, except from an external CD and a FD drives.
I own an old and cursed Satellite 505-507 and Protege M200, and had been looking for a solution.
Only thing you can do is to use CF disk with PCMCIA card, and I successfully HD installed Damn Small Linux 1.4 on my 1GB CF, but hangs when the kernel starts to look for the root partition with the message similar to saying "Kernel Panic : Can't find VFS volume ...".
I'm thinking about adding lines to "linuxrc" to modprobe yenta_socket, and run "cardmgr" to fix the problem, but I havn't tried yet.
Do I need some conf file for the "cardmgr" ? By reading man page, it seems like I don't really have to.
ruymbeke, is my assumption reasonable enough ?
RSVP,
Isao
