This is one of the very thin Toshiba laptops (800 MHz P3). I tried just starting up the laptop with the Operating system in the CD, but it didn’t read it. I’m not a hacker, but I know my way around a computer well enought that I should be able to do something like this without spending $ 150 for the local computer store to do it for me. I want to see if ‘joe on the street’ (me) can install his own operating system and open office and get a laptop running without paying Microsoft what amounts to 3 car payments.
Gracias!!!
