I got a cd copy of Yellowdog Linux from a friend on the robotics team. I tried installing it on one of my computers. It is a Sony Vaio currently with Windows95, a 3 gig hard drive and a slow processor. It has one cd rom but does not auto-play a cd, which I will mention in a minute. The txt readme file says to insert the cd, reboot, and hold the "c" key while the computer boots. I did that and a screen said, "Error: a key on the keyboard is stuck in the down position. Please fix this problem and press Esc to continue." It said that I could press F1 for the setup screen so I did. I set the cd-rom as the primary drive and the hard drive as the secondary. It still booted Windows. I can't find any possible way to install Linux on that computer.
