Hi,
I have a quite old laptop (2003) with a crappy bios, which doesn't
allow booting from USB and the laptop's dvd drive is broken.
Is there any way to write some bootloader-code on the HDD, which then
loads the live-cd from USB?
Thank you in advance, Clemens
I have similar old laptops - and what works well for me is the "plop"
bootloader - either from a CD burned with the iso, or if you have grub
you can get grub to load the binary from a grub stanza...

Hope this helps
