Setting Up Quad Boot on Old Dell Laptop | Just Plain Tech (JPT) |
![]() |
In today's video we will set up a quad-boot of Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Slackware, and Puppy Linux on the Dell Inspiron 1501, but this method will also work for many other computers. The wifi driver installation steps in this video may also work with other dell PCs. If wifi does not work on Slackware at the end of this process, make sure you have Gslapt and Sboui installed, link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUgoG3RSgVk&t=1s
