Ok I have an old IBM Thinkpad 560E with 48mb of ram, 2GB Hardrive, and Windows 95 installed. I can't do the poorman's install because the option to keep folder's capitalized is not available. I have tried the boot floppy to load the CD from my Panasonic KXL-783A Portable CD Player. I put the Qlogic_cs.o on the PCMCIA on the module disk but it still says resource temporarily unavailable. I just need help in how to get my cd running from the boot floppy so I can install DSL on my laptop.

Hi canada11278

I circumvented install problems by taking the HD oout of the (in my case) embedded PC, into a desktop and did a frugal install. HD back into embedded PC and YESSS I was there! Maybe this can be the way yout get it up and running too.
