Hi, I read different recommendations for achieving this. George p Moody's Linux on Toshiba Libretto 70 was really useful. I found zipslack made it very easy. I had an external cdrive for which I'd already made a win95 boot disk with the drivers. the libretto I bought on ebay has a 6gb drive. using the boot bisk I deleted the existing partitions and made a i Gb bootable partition. It could have been less but ...<shrug> So then I got all the drivers and stuff from Toshiba and burnt them to a cd along with zipslack split and winzip32 from the slackware 8.1 official cd set. I installed windows. Then unzipped zipslack into a folder and booted it with loadlin like it says in the docs. So now I have linux running and it finds the cd and my network card. thank you thank you zipslack So now I can run cfdisk and make the ext2 partition and an ibm hibernation mode partition ?? at the end of the disk. copied the initrd.img thingy to the zipslack folder as it says in the docs. linux\loadlin c:\linux\bzimage rw root=/dev/ram initrd=initrd.img load_ramdisk and there's the slackware install menu. and quite soon I have slackware with X and everything. I have a few problems that I'm going to ask you guys about next =o) regards michael crane ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
