problems installing LINUX on my Libretto 70CT
Hi there,
Thanks very much for responding so quickly and complete.
Well, I read about the
"put-the-libby-disk-in-another-laptop-install-linux-on-it-and-put-it-back-in
-the Libby" trick, but when I booted the Libby, I noticed that it boots, but
hangs after the message:
Freeing unused kernel memory: 64k freed
Any idea how to fix that??
Cheers
Robbert
