Boot from USB DVD+/-RW Drive?
by Rydel » 2006-01-28 21:05
I want to install Debian on my old-ish Dell Inspiron 2650 laptop that only has a CD-ROM drive. Is there any way to set the BIOS to boot from a USB DVD drive? Maybe writing a command on a floppy, and setting the BIOS to boot from that?

You could get a better answer from Dell.
The reason I am suggesting that is that laptops are very "picky" computers.
They might suggest you a BIOS upgrade to reckon your USB DVD drive.
