Re: [SuSE Linux] Toshiba Libretto

[Mark E. Davidson]

Jim--

If it really is a Libretto, it is *not* a WinCE machine.  The Libretto is
just an incredibly small PC that runs Win 95, and yes, it can run Linux (or
FreeBSD).

To answer your questions... for a new screen, you can always call Toshiba
and ask them.  I do know that Toshiba replacement screens are NOT cheap.

As for the password, I don't know.  You might check on comp.sys.laptop and
see if anyone knows the answer there.  I'm no expert at portables, but it
may end up that you might have to remove the internal battery and let the
machine "forget" all of it's settings.  Again, check on comp.sys.laptop or
check the Toshiba Web site.
