Booting Porteus Flash On HD-Less R31 Thinkpad
Posted: 25 Jun 2014, 21:14
Greetings!
Subject says it all. I wish to boot my Porteus flash on an old R31 ThinkPad which has a dead HD and whose BIOS supposedly can't be coaxed to boot a USB drive. I heard there are tricks to jumpstart a flash boot via a CD but I'm really clueless about this or how to proceed. Any assist welcome.
(Maybe on another topic, can I do the same with an old PPC Mac?)
Thanks!
