I've found an old IBM OmniBook 800 and am curious whether I can get it going again. (Currently it boots either Windows 95 or some then-contemporary version of Slackware.) The CDROM is external (SCSI, I think) and the machine won't boot from it, so it'd require a boot floppy. Any suggestions? Or is CentOS entirely the wrong Linux to be thinking about for this?
True, this is out of my league, and I'm just brainstorming, but ...
Does it have a pcmcia slot? Does anyone make a USB-pcmcia adapter?
Set up a usb stick to boot from.
Good? Or, am I totally off base? :)
