I have an old HP Omnibook 900 on which I want to install Linux, since having windows on it is no use to me.
However, the BIOS was protected by someone else, and I cannot change the boot sequence. The current booting order settings are :-
1. Floppy
2. HDD
As you can see, I cannot boot from CD. Also note that I cannot use CD and Floppy simeltaneously.
Hence, I am looking for a guide to booting to the hard disk (DOS or Windows), and then proceeding to install Linux from the CD using some kind of CD drivers. I have also heard that several linux distros have bootable installtion floppies, which i think i can copy to my HDD, and then use to boot fro CD.
Once again, please remember that I CANNOT use CD and Floppy simeltaneously.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
