Subject: One for the linux types...
Two things...
Having just had a windows proggie roast my partition tables (to the extent
that I've had to write code to write to the disk to make it fdiskable again
- both windows and linux fdisks barfed on it!) I've just had to reinstall
from scratch - still in progress.
(1) I managed to get mandrake 8 installed by loading it with the disk on a
desktop machine, and then letting HardDrake do it's stuff and unload most of
the drivers, and playing with the X drivers to make it use the chips driver.
It works! But the news is, on a CT50, even overclocked, don't bother. KDE2
and Konqueror are just too slow to be of practical use. Ah well, back to the
drawing board...
(2) So I put M7.1 back on, from the hard disk using a floppy to boot it so
that I can get the text mode install, which is the only one that will run in
the available memory.
The snag now is that even though the psion gold card modem/network combo was
in the slot, and was probed, the network install didn't find it. I know I
had it working previously but I have no idea how I did it. Any offers?
Cheers,
Neil
