    1. I already have this laptop.

    When I tried the Alternate Install CD, it asked me for a floppy, I do not have a floppy drive... Or when it loads with the regular CDs for Ubuntu and Linux Mint even. Also Fedora but Fedora's message is different, Red Hat based is the reason I assume, anyway...
    Ubuntu says "BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu7) Built-in shell (ash)"
    Help please.

    I solved it!
    When using the LiveCD go to Start in Safe Graphics mode. But this time press F6 first and add "all_generic_ide"
    And then it should boot just fine.
