A week ago I bought a Toshiba Satellite, S1400-103 for the sum of five Euros. It worked very well, even the rechargable battery was still rechargable. But it came with Windows XP and I wanted Linux. After some searching I found Antix, and I could even find a 32 bit version of Linux.
I downloaded the thing and put it on a CD. The Toshiba wanted to read the CD and then asked a lot of questions. I answered as much as possible with the default. Everything seemed to work (very slow, but the Toshiba is a bit on the slow side). Finally it asked me to reboot. As instructed I removed the CD and did a reboot. The Toshiba responded with:
Insert system disk in drive
Press any key when ready
… and I thought that was what was created: a system disk.
Where did I go wrong?
hi frabbix,
was grub installed to mbr on setup on it? Also check in the bios on the boot settings. I
had some computers that after installing had to set the hard drive first in the boot order.
ok, trying to pinpoint the boot error.
Which version/iso of antiX was used … core, base, full? will help others chime in.
A inxi -zv7 output if possible.
That’s also going to be a pretty limited machine with only 1GB max ram and the celeron cpu also.
