Sooooo, I have a little problem with attempting to install any Linux distribution on the aforementioned laptop (I also have an issue on the desktop with Fedora insisting on using the Spanish dictionary on spell checker, but I'm sure I can solve that :P). Anyway, whenever I attempt to boot this laptop with a live CD-R or USB drive (all perfectly good bootable media; I've tested them with the desktop) I... Right, this spell checker is beyond a joke :mad:.
As I was saying (spell check is English now :P) ... I found that the laptop would refuse to advance from the first screen on booting (ISOLINUX Debian-2.8 (c) Peter Anvin etc., you all know what I'm on about). The BIOS doesn't have any relevant options, having changed the boot settings to boot from the correct media as required, and Google is useless, so I was wondering if you lot could help. Thanks in advance. +Rep and, more importantly, my eternal gratitude to anyone who can help!
