[Solved] Dell Latitude C640 booting issue

[N4RPS]

Hello!

This didn't work for me. Looks like I'll keep that Plop CD handy...

Hmm Sorry to hear that. I guess it was some kind of fluke then. There were several other options that you could select from if you pressed the space bar in the bios. It would add the little arrow to it and then you could move that up using another set of keys. I made sure that the HDD was the last one to try a boot from. I don't have the Laptop right now as it is with my guinea pig trying out Beryl. But I guess it could have been a fluke? Not sure how it actually worked...

Sorry

Hello!

I hadn't thought about booting LL from a LiveUSB in a network location. We played around with network boots in one of my MCSA classes; perhaps it is time to take another look at all that in more detail...

Yeah that is what I was considering and I did find some information on it, but it looked so complicated. I decided against it. That was when I took off the Network boot and put on the way that I have it listed here. Next thing I know its booting from the usb.... I dunno....

Let me know if there is anyway or anything I can do to help. I think it would be a very viable way to install on machines that are similar.
