Subject: Localisation of the hibernation area (IBM 20 G)

I wanted an  hibernation partition with the minimal size on a Libretto 110
1) Create a partition about [8 Gb - 200 Mb ; 8 Gb + 100 Mb],
   then center the partition around the hibernation area
2) Write all zero on it dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda10 bs=1024 count=30
3) Run some applications
4) Hibernate the Libretto apm -s
5) Restart the Libretto
6) Check with the following shell
#!/bin/sh
dd if=/dev/zero of=zero63 bs=1024 count=63
cyl=0
while [ $cyl -le 88326 ]
do
xcyl=`printf %05x $cyl`
cp -a zero63 cyl
dd if=/dev/hda10 bs=1024 skip=$cyl of=cyl count=63 /dev/null
cmp -s zero63 cyl  echo $xcyl === $cyl
cmp -s zero63 cyl || echo $xcyl ###
let cyl = $cyl+63
done

And the result with IBM-DJSA-220 is the partition defined as:

fdisk -l /dev/hda
Disque /dev/hda : 255 têtes, 63 secteurs, 2432 cylindres
Unités = cylindres sur 16065 * 512 octets
..
/dev/hda10 1017  1027 88326   a0  Hibernation Thinkpad IBM

The hibernation area is the center portion of the partition:
0x03e80-0x14680 ### 16000-83584 - 67584 k
The rest of the partition (the first 16000k and the last 2800k)
can be used to store confidential cyphered raw data,
unreadable via ftp, nfs, samba.

Subject: Re: Linux on Libreto 110CT

it is part of the enhanced port replicator.
like the 2 other pcmcia interface.

 USB port??
 
 I've got a 110CT, and I'm absolutely certain there's no USB port built in.
 Is this part of the Enhanced Port Replicator?  Are you using a PCMCIA card
 for this?  
 
 That said, I want USB on my 110 :-)

Yes, you can. With dual boot. And see the Win$ partition in Linux
And also see the linux partitions in Win$.

I have not installed dual boot. I prefer to have Win$ on a separate machine
with Samba between them.

But, in either case, Linux only or Dual boot, do not forgt the Hibernation partition !

the new libretto L1

2001-05-28 Thread brennan -

Date: Mon, 28 May 2001 05:55:57 -0400
From: brennan - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: the new libretto L1

hello folks,

i am new to this list because i have been researching the libretto L1.
i wish to purchase this machine through a friend in Japan. i am from Canada 
and i don't think it will be available here for some time.

does anybody know of any reason why i should not do this. it looks like an 
awsome machine. i have had a sony picturebook...and when toshiba announced 
this model, i felt as though i had some hope with my quest for the ultimate 
ultraportable.

i know that the OS will be Japanese but i suspect that i should be able to 
clean install W2K. I don't really like millenium anyway!! i am sure that 
many of you have Japanese models that had to be converted.

should i expect complications with things like the bios or boot sector or 
anything else that is not blown away with a reformat?

(a short rant about sony)hopefully to make you feel better about your 
wonderful toshibas...

sony is not a customer oriented company. they charge exorbitant prices and 
atttempt to sting you for more money with proprietary issues. every sony 
product is designed to force you to buy the only sony compatibles...sony!! i 
know this is the norm for some products with some compatibles but with sony, 
it is everything. for instance, you cannot reliably use a sony picturebook 
with anything other than a sony cd-rom.

peace:)

Try this page as the starting point for Libretto L1.

Don't let this URL stop you.
It compares it with the Sony product and has many links.

Windows ME.

From: =?iso-8859-1?q?Stuart=20G?= [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Windows ME.

Would it please be possible if someone could tell me
if Windows ME runs fine on the Libretto 100CT. I know
that Windows 98 played up for me when I installed it.
It seemed a lot slower than 95. Has anyone installed
ME on their Libretto? Any problems?


Keep smiling :-D
