For the Toshiba, go into bios, set it to boot from cd/dvd first. Then put in iso cd of linux distro you want to try and reboot. It should boot to live distro of linux. (By the way, I always make sure I use a live cd so I can make sure the computer hardware is all recognized.) __________________ Registered Linux User #420832

The most common is a process 2998, but each attempt yields a new one and starts looping indefinitely(so far, that only happens to debian distros on toshiba satelite; centrino;160;core 2 duo, etc.) That's the problem

I tried a restart and then inserted a Live DVD of slackware in & still no PID2998, so I'm afraid I don't know what the problem is. __________________ Registered Linux User #420832
