Contains utilities needed when running Linux on toshiba laptops

Welcome to the Toshiba Linux Utilities pages. The purpose of these pages is to act as reference point for my small series of programs to control the more Toshiba specific aspects of their laptops. In particular they allow many of the settings controlled by either Toshiba's MaxTime or Power Saver utilities to be changed under Linux. The code is licensed under the GNU Public licence (GPL).

Installation of ubuntu linux 8.04 on the toshiba l300 a howto:

This is a log of my efforts to get Linux going on my shiny (and cheap) L300. I kept this log because I wished someone else had put one on their website when I was installing ubuntu myself.

update:

ubuntu linux 8.10 seems to have better support for this laptop, and it is also possible to get the wireless working.

update:

The Toshiba Sattelite has been reported as running Suse Linux 10.3 without any major problems.

These are some notes on how I persuaded Debian GNU/Linux to talk to my very fine Canon PowerShot A40 digital camera, which interfaces only via the USB port. There should be something useful here for users of other GNU/Linux distributions, but for this installation I am using Debian Woody on my Toshiba Portégé 3110CT laptop.
