Obviously the boot halts (and does not timeout) before getting to the sysintall screen. Specifically:
..... dead.
This is a Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop. The battery is dead, buried, and never to return (nor am I going to buy another even if I can find a replacement). I am currently running off of the AC power-pack for the install only and do not even have the battery physically present. How do I bi-pass this and continue with the installation?
I would also like to boot from the HD, CD-booting takes a good long while and does not let me load modules, or edit any configuration files during the process.
Regards with thanks.
Jeff.
