Have you tried installing a newer Red Hat or Fedora using the slinky installer (http://www.rule-project.org/)? Haven't tried it myself yet but supposedly the newer distros may RUN on older hardware, they just won't INSTALL. (I currently have Red Hat 7.3 on my 64MB Lib110 dual-booting with Win98SE; soon I will be trying triple-boot with Win2k/Win98SE/newer Linux.)

Fedora Core 1/2/3 dont work on my Libretto 50CT (32Mb, 810Mb HD) ..is this because of 1) lack of memory 2) some obscure driver issue 3) some obscure APM/ACPI wierdness as i said, I'd love to use the box more..and I'd love to have time to diagnose this (when I say 'doesnt work' it fails to boot doing a standard installation method... you know, the sort of thing you'd normally do) in the meantime, my little Lib is running a really ancient RedHat 5.1 with 2.0.40 kernel. its kinda geeky and quirky I guess... but none of the serious tools I need to use day to day will work with such an old libc and compile environment :-| I'd also like to try one of those 3G cards with it..but no chance without newer distro tools etc Alan ==================================================== __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
