Dsl will take about 8 hours to down load disk one and 2 depending on network load. I have done it many times haha last night I downloaded m7 and it will mot copy from the cd to the disk to load directly from the disk.. Not I have a bad mbr haha will have to unlock it since fdisk wont and pm7 wont mess with it and ranish wont run on my desktop.. Maybe ill just put it in the new desktop and load linux on it.. Then load win98se.. Anyone have good luck with 98se on the 50ct with 16 meg??BTW wheres the cheepest for the 32meg upgrade? -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Hanson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 8:42 PM To: Libretto Subject: Re: [LIB] ct50/70 X config file Date: Wed, 06 Feb 2002 02:36:32 +0000 From: "Matthew Hanson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [LIB] ct50/70 X config file >Date: Tue, 05 Feb 2002 23:15:13 >From: "neil barnes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Well, if you have time for a couple or three CD's full, you can >download >the latest mandrake from www.mandrake.com I could do it with my sister's DSL connection. Looks like everything but v8.1 there is an ISO image. If I had a v7.1 ISO image, could I extract the files from that file on a desktop, and then move them to a Windows partition on the Lib via a network connection, and install from there. Will Mandrake let you install it to a Linux partition from files on a Windows partition like I did with Slackware? >M7.1 is a bit hard to find - it bugs me that they don't keep the old >ones >hanging around - I did a search and found a v7.1 Beta 3 Hydrogen copy... but it looks like an early Beta. I presume I'd be looking for a standard v7.1. I wonder if a FTP search might locate a copy. I'm sure you must have gone down all those roads trying to track down a copy. This isn't something I'm going to be trying right away. I'll be taking my usual leisurely time getting ready to start the project. >but the cheap cd places should have one, or I can make a copy and post >to >you when I get back to england (I have a slightly chopped one that came >from a magazine) Don't think my Compuserve account will allow more than a 5MB file via email. Some day I need to go down to my sister's place and use her DSL to download a few things. If I can find a website or FTP server I can download it from, that would be pretty quick. >The problems I've had are because I don't have a booting (or indeed, >any) >cd player for the lib, Has ANYONE gotten a 50 or 70 to boot from a CD-ROM drive? >and on the 70 there's not enough memory to install from the hd, so I >stuff >the disk in a desktop and install it there, then let the hardware detection >get rid of the unneeded bits. What was it you couldn't do with the L50 and not the L70? And if you set the Lib's HDD up in the desktop, won't it detect hardware on the desktop that's not on the Lib, and not set up the Lib hardware? I'm still wondering if I can just load Mandrake files onto the L70's Windows partition of the 20GB HDD, and install from there. No?
