Ok, I have a Toshiba Satellite 1555CDS and I'm trying to install DSL on it. I got the current iso file, burnt it to a CD, and booted it up.

But once it got to the line:
Running Linux kernel 2 blah blah,
Processor 0 345MHz AMD or something.

then it just stops. like it just stops. even the noise from the laptop just stops. what am I Doing wrong??

Press f2 and/or f3 to try boot codes for you machine.
Might be you need noacpi boot option.

Then again, you may need to use the syslinux version of the cdrom.

I used nopcmcia and I got it installed. The only problem is, now I don't know how to get the laptop to read the network card!

I also have a wirless conncetor thingy that uses a USB port. It's a little wireless reciever that connects vai USB, but I can't seem to get the computer to recognize it.
