Subject: Re: Caldera Linux on L50
I was unable to persuade caldera 2.4 to load from hard disc while I was
setting up the demo units on FutureWorld...the manual seemed to indicate
that it was possible but I never managed it so if anyone knows how to do it
I'm keen to find out, I like Caldera 2.4! Admittedly, I didn't have time to
investigate in detail and the method I used below might work.
I use mandrake 6.1 at present on the Lib 50, without any drivers for the
floppy as it's so rare I use it - the technique was to dual partition the 6g
disk as 4 and 2g for windows and linux respectively, then copied the
mandrake disk from a networked windows machine and launched from the
/mandrake/dosutils directory.
Cheers,
Neil
