Installing Debian Linux on a Fujitsu LifeBook P2120
When I recieved my P2120 it was loaded with WinXP (Xtra Phucked). I refused to accept the licence agreement and so it sent me round in a circle untill I got it to boot from the CDROM. I then installed Win2000 (from the W2K CD that came with my old computer that had just died) which worked OK untill I started tryng to play a DVD - it couldn't get past the first track and then next morning wouldn't reboot saying NTLDT not found. I then gave up on Windows all together. (Next time I install Windows 2000, I'll make sure I install all the patches and upgrades. That might resolve the DVD and boot problems.)
