This can be show in many cases: (1) When put in standby or suspend mode, L50/70 will drain the battery in couple of hours while on L100, it is almost the same as shutdown or hibernation. (2) L50/70 only has ISA bus so it won't support 32-bit card bus and USB interface.

My point is not that the cookies and temp files are required, but that you'll get a blue screen if you destroy the files system on which they are stored. If the FAT points to something that isn't there, it will read garbage back to the program - if it can parse it at all, it won't be happy with what it parses. If it can't it will probably crash - people don't seem to test things by throwing random numbers at them anymore :) If the fat is damaged, then it will in all likelyhood bluescreen when the file access occurs as the pointers will be all over the place. _ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

You can keep the floppy drive and hard drive (but why would you want a small one?) but thats about it ... the power supply connector is different (if you make up a new connector though you can still use the old PSU) ... the port replicators are also completely different. I went from an L50 to an L100 and I'm very happy with it ... it IS bigger than the L50/70 and it does have some quirks in terms of hibernation/suspend but its more than made up for by its extra features. - Raymond --- /~\ | | Does fuzzy logic tickle?| | ___ | My HDD has no reverse.

Interesting the memory passed every diagnostic test I ran on it. Maybe I have a bad socket. I already ran a search on the archives and didn't find the info I need. It doesn't hurt to rehash old info anyway. The lcd will work as a reflective it just needs to be modified properly- in its present state it is transmissive so of course won't work when the backlight dies. Nothing to reflect light. Parts are no problem- I can get or have everything I need to mess with the lcd. I modified a reflective lcd to add a backlight and I have plenty of parts left over. If something is broken or dies just buy a new one No need for third party warentees :) John We've been through this loop - it's worth checking the archives. General conclusion: it won't work in reflective mode (see what it's like when the fluorescent inverter dies!). Anything on the front of the screen is going to *reduce* brightness, but *may* be able to help in reducing external reflections and therefore increasing the contrast, so it may be more visible in sunlight. Trying to remove the flourescent screen from the LCD is a hiding to nothing: possible, but very easy to break the LCD. If you're going to have anything done to the screen, make sure someoe else is guaranteeing it :) Neil ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

You can keep the floppy drive and hard drive (but why would you want a small one?) but thats about it ... the power supply connector is different (if you make up a new connector though you can still use the old PSU) ... the port replicators are also completely different. I have a 6 gig with about 4 gig free. I don't need a bigger one:)!!! I am not much into software. It's great to know a simple mod to the 100/110 will enable me to use my power supplies!!! I went from an L50 to an L100 and I'm very happy with it ... it IS bigger than the L50/70 and it does have some quirks in terms of hibernation/suspend but its more than made up for by its extra features.

From LangaList. 5) Automatic Power-Off From DOS When you exit Windows, you have several choices. On newer PCs, this includes a total shut down where the system power goes off, just as if you'd pushed the power switch. DOS doesn't offer this. There are software tools to automate a reboot in DOS (see the free reboot tool at http://mindprod.com/products.html ), but--- until I got the following note--- I knew of no way to do an automatic, software-driven total power-off shutdown from DOS: Fred, PowerOff.exe is a 835 byte (less than 1KB!) file which will turn off the computer from DOS. It uses APM (Advanced Power Management) to work with the BIOS and actually power down the computer. It works in DOS the same as Shut Down does in Windows. Some users may find it useful for their clean- up batch files. It's freeware, available at http://elektron.et.tudelft.nl/~witteman/PowerOff.html I've looked and looked, and this is the only one of its kind I've been able to unearth.--- Bruce Fraser Thanks, Bruce! The developer says: Poweroff.exe is an MSDOS program that is able to shutdown the power of the latest ATX power supplies from the command line using the APM functionalities supplied by the motherboard BIOS. Poweroff.exe is to DOS, what Shutdown is to Win9x. But note that this software can only do what your hardware allows: On older PCs (where Windows gives a Safe To Turn Off message instead of turning the system all the way off on its own), this DOS software also probably won't be able to do a complete software-driven shut down. Older system hardware just isn't set up for that. But if Windows *can* turn off your PC all the way, then this software probably also will give you that ability from DOS.

{Digby]
So the puzzle I have is - why is Windows showing the extra drive, and
where abouts on the disk is it??? Is there any way to find out what is
happening without destroying some other part of the disk?
[Neil]
It might be worth reading the MBR and the volume boot records that
define the partitions with a hex disc editor - but I bet it'll make
headaches :)
[Raymond]
If you've got PM you might want to play with it there ... otherwise if
its only annoying you (and not causing any other problems) just hide it
using TweakUI.
When this happened to me, PM didn't see those two 'phantom' partitions
that Windows was reporting it saw. An example of PM doesn't always know
what's going on with Linux I guess. Your experience creating Linux
partitions with PM that showed up look like a DOS partition in Linux is
another example.
Nah what I meant was creating DOS partitions with Linux didn't quite work
and that PM did weird things creating any major partitioning scheme when
you had a drive overlay running and the disk was blank. Once I'd used DOS
FDISK to create the first partition and the extended then used Linux FDISK
to create the Linux partition, PM was fine moving partitions around or
creating new partitions. I guess it does what Linux FDISK does ... look to
the existing partitions to see if anything weird is happening as opposed to
trying to find out for itself (like DOS FDISK).
Of course I had an big investment in the time I had put into setting up a
lot of software on the Win95 partition. If you've just begun setting up
your OSs, you might just want to scrap everything and start over.
Bah ... Windows is fine if you just do a straight file copy. Put the hard
drive into your desktop and copy all the stuff off (do NOT use XCOPY or
you'll lose all your long filenames ... do it under Windows, its safe to
copy files OFF the hard drive without the overlay active, just don't change
any partition info) ... then repartition then copy all the stuff back on
then go FDISK /MBR I've done it 3 times and its worked ... don't try
it with NT or Linux though!
I'd start by making one primary partition for Windows, and installing it.
Then use PM to hide it, create a small partition to start your Linux
installation, and go from there.
I've never used PM's hide facility ... what exactly does it do?

P.S. I'm running a bit behind on the list, apologies if I'm answering

My point is not that the cookies and temp files are required, but that you'll get a blue screen if you destroy the files system on which they are stored.

I deleted the existing (whole disk) partition, re-created it a few meg up (in preparation to add the diagnostics partition at the beginning of the disk) but things stuffed up ... ran a disk diagnostics tool and it picked up the OLD copy of the FAT (because I hadn't erased the beginning of the disk yet) ... *sigh* file systems do weird things don't they? - Raymond P.S.

I don't think the problem is deleting the cookies or temp files. That in itself isn't a problem because Windows will just recreate them as necessary or whatnot. The danger is if they're corrupted. Windows sees the file there, it sees that the header is intact (which is quite possible) so it might just assume the file is fine ... then it hits the corruption. Written properly, it should just junk the file and start again however you don't know what might happen ... especially if the file is mainly text (such as a cookie) and gets partially overwritten with text (quite possible if you've got a lot of text in RAM). Its a bit like the good ol' C programmer's nightmare ... you've got a pointer which is wrong but you don't know it and it gives you the right answer most of the time because it just so happens to point to stuff that looks awful similar to what it was supposed to point to so your program doesn't actually realize anything is wrong until you have to demonstrate it to your boss ... - Raymond P.S.

Re: [LIB] 70CT verses 100CT
Date: Sat, 27 Apr 2002 10:23:38 +0800 From: Raymond [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LIB] 70CT verses 100CT I went from an L50 to an L100 and I'm very happy with it ... it IS bigger than the L50/70 and it does have some quirks in terms of hibernation/suspend but its more than made up for by its extra features. What quirks have you found? IIRC I posted a few gripes a while back but it boils down to 1: It has a real problem hot-docking/undocking or warm-docking/undocking from the EPR regardless of what else is plugged in. My L50 was fine going to and from the EPR primarily because the EPR wasn't actually detecting as a port replicator (for instance, even when nothing is connected you'll notice the L50/70 recons its got 2 PCMCIA slots ... as if the EPR was always connected). I think this sorta problem would be common to ANY laptop that uses Windows's docking/undocking stuff (my Toshiba Tecra 500CDT with the Dockstation V has similar problems at times). 2: The L100 has a real hard time figuring out itself after coming out of suspend. My L50 would redetect everything so say it suspend with a NIC then I replaced it with a CD-ROM card and powered it back up again, it'd redetect everything and it'd be fine. With my L100, I have to stop the NIC before suspending, then when it comes out of suspend it detects the CD-ROM card. Ditto if I remove the NIC during hibernation (although I think thats more a network problem). I just get into the habit now of stopping all devices before suspending, regardless of if I'll be removing anything or not. 3: Coming OUT of suspend takes anywhere from 2 seconds to 15 seconds. I'm not exactly sure why this is ... it doesn't seem to depend on things having changed, redetections, programs running or whatnot. 4: I can't get the L100 to do the nice L50 thing of suspending but saving hibernation info, then flipping from suspend to hibernate after a set amount of time (so if I remove the battery pack or if I leave it for a while it won't need to be powered but if I need to wake it up after a short time I can do so quickly). Having said THAT, it seems to use about as much power suspended as hibernated so the only time you'll really need to hibernate is if you wanted to switch battery packs without fully shutting down. I've not got a spare pack for my L100 so I've not had that problem, when I get a new pack I'll have to find a way of forcing hibernation to do a battery swap ... 5: The L100 relies a lot more on Windows APM stuff so it does annoying things like Windows overriding BIOS. In Windows for instance, I press the power button and the laptop suspends. Under DOS or Linux however, I press the power button and it hibernates. Thing is, I've not told it to hibernate ANYWHERE (BIOS or Windows) so I'm trying to figure out why it bothers hibernating. Hope this helps! - Raymond P.S.

Re: [LIB] (Re)Installation...
Date: Sat, 27 Apr 2002 10:47:26 +0800 From: Raymond [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LIB] (Re)Installation... The fist is I think it would be prudent to attempt to backup my Linux install on to tape or some other media, and re-install onto the new partitions from backup. Whilst I havn't invested much time in the system yet, and could restore from original CDs more easily, I think it a good idea to verify that a backup strategy works, incuding re-install on a 'wiped' disk, before it is really needed. IIRC you can use the DD command under Linux to do a disk image. Do a google on the web as I don't really know how. Otherwise, use Norton Ghost or Powerquest DriveImage which can do these things to local hard drives (put the libby hard drive into your desktop), over a network, through parallel cable or to a tape drive. For the first time I tried makeing all of my Linux filesystems except the root a Reiser filesystem, as it is supposed to be in some ways better (any comments?) but it does seem to have one problem - dump(1) does not work on it. I guess Linux expects 'tar' to be used for dumps. I don't really bother with that sorta thing ... I rarely boot anyway (I suspend most often) so I don't get that problem. If I need to reboot I just let it go, do something else for a minute or 2 then come back. I guess the re-install from backups is going to involve creating a 'linux boot' directory on the windows partition again to bootstrap me into a postition where I can create the partitions and restore them from the backups. Anyone had a go at this before and care to offer some tips? Not if you've used a disk imaging program. The second problem is copying the Windows partition from my old (4GB) drive. There is a bit of a history to this which I outlined some time ago, but briefly: a/ When I furst got my new Libretto, the first thing I wanted to do was re-partition the hard disk and put a useful OS on it. In adddition, I don't really like pre-installed OSs, because it makes me uneasy knowing that I havn't proved that I can re-install from scratch if the need arises. I'd have to disagree with you on that. Toshiba's factory installs are actually pretty decent (unlike Acer factory installs which are full of cr@p in my opinion). Where I used to work, we used to do the installs ourselves but we ended up modifying Toshiba factory installs because it was a lot easier and was as good if not better than what we could do with the time we had. So I had quick play to familiarise my system, not caring too much about what I did because I was going to re-install anyway, then used the Microsoft backup software to make a backup of my disk, as well as doing a file-by-file copy over Samba, repartitioned the disk with fdisk, and then proceeded to re-install from the supplied floppies... AARGHH!!! NOT MS BACKUP!!! Needless to say, it didn't work. The instructions in the 100CT manual referred to disks I didn't have, and didn't refer to some of the disks I did have. After installing the base Windows95 system from the floppies (a tedious process) I never sucessed in finding a way to install the remaining Toshiba drivers etc that would reproduce the original install. I always ended up without CAB files or the PCMCIA wouldn't work right, etc... Just put the hard drive into another machine and do a straight file copy. When you need to restore, just copy the files back then restore your boot loader (either run Lilo to rewrite the Lilo boot loader, run fdisk /mbr, reload GRUB or reload NTLDR depending on what you use to load your OS). To I tried re-installing from my Microsoft Backup, and surprise surprise, it didn't work. It went all the way through to the end, then came up with an error message saying that something went wrong and please try again... :-/ I have since been told by people familiar with Windows that you don't use Microsoft's bundled backup software. Heh ... some of us learn the hard way ;-) In the end, I managed to get the original software running by installing from the backup as far as it would go, then copying the missing files from my file-by-file backup. The most important of the omissions being the registry. Ya never do things like that ... either restore all or nothing. Don't restore the registry without the files or the files without the registry (the all-file backup I referred to above also copies the registry files ... which is why you need to put the hard drive into another computer booted into its OWN installation ... because you can't back up the registry in that way when you're still sitting on it!). Since then I have re-installed windows on a new disk by creating an empty partition and then using Unix and 'dd' to write the raw image, which works fine when I keep the partition size identical, but now I wish to increase the windows partition size from 800M to 1.5Gb, You can use DD then resize the partition using Partition Magic (or just use Ghost or DriveImage which can

The final curiosity is that Windows tells me the extended partition is completely empty. If doesn't show the Linux partitions as non-DOS as I would have expected, but appears not to be able to see them at all. Usually seems to show them as empty but won't allow you to erase it on the grounds that it isn't. I've had to use linux fdisk (or friends) to erase an 83 partition before now, and micro~01 is very unhappy about formatting a partition it didn't fdisk (e.g. linux fdisk two partitions, the first one a bootable vfat and the second a linux 83, then ask windows to format the first. It stomps the second...) Yes, I had discovered that before. I generally make sure I create each partition with the operating system that is going to live in it. Thats important ... but also its CRITICAL that the first partition on your hard drive is created with MS-DOS FDISK. The problem is Linux FDISK (and CFDISK) looks at the first partition for anything weird (such as drive overlays). It'll completely miss the presence of an overlay if it sees a blank drive with no partitions. I found THAT out the hard way. Hope you are right about windows not letting me create anything in the extended partition which it shows as empty. However I am not really game to try it. Eh? I suspect if I asked it to make a logical DOS drive, it would happily do so, overwriting the Linux partitions. Clearly there is some compatibility problem between Windows and Liniux created extended partitions which means that if I wanted a Windows partition, I would have had to have created that first in the extended drive. Yes, in windows/dos. Umm ... what exactly do you mean? I found that as long as the extended partition and first partition were created in Windows FDISK (not necessarily in that order ... its fine if you create the first partition with Windows FDISK then use Linux FDISK to create another 2 primaries then use Windows FDISK to create the 4th partition as an extended) then both Linux FDISK and Windows FDISK will be quite happy to populate the extended partition (although Windows freaks if you try to put more than 4 logical partitions in there, in that case you NEED to use Linux FDISK or CFDISK to create Windows partitions but as long as you've already got a Windows-FDISK-created partition in that extended partition somewhere, Linux FDISK/CFDISK seem fine). DOS FORMAT doesn't seem to care what created the partition as long as its the right type. However I see from my program dump above that this has resulted in the extended partition nominally finishing at the 8GB boundry. Linux seems to have happily ignored that, presumably it uses the linear addresses and ignores the head/cylinder/sector stuff which is invalid after 8GB :-/ Thats why you need a drive overlay. Refer to my 2 or 3 big emails about my experiences with them if you need some hints ;-) One thing I did find with more experimenting, is that if I remove the second FAT partition, both D: and E: disappear. So I am wondering if Windows just doesn't like two primary FAT partitions. I do know that if you have that 8 gig problem then you WILL get inconsistent representations of the disk depending on if the program you're using to view the disk can do the translation independant of the BIOS. Such things as Windows reconing there are 6 partitions when Linux FDISK only sees 3 or vice versa whilst Norton recons the disk is unpartitioned and Partition Magic recons there is only 1 partition. Put the overlay on (and make sure any partition changing or viewing program is run once the overlay loads) and everythign seems fine. I know Windows FDISK will not let you create more than one. It may be that I should have put a FAT partition in the extended partition, which is how I had it organised before I found that it was possible to boot Linux from the extended partition, leaving three other bootable partitions. Actually, whilst Windows FDISK won't create more than 1 primary and 4 logicals, if you use another utility (such as NT Disk Admin, Linux FDISK/CFDISK or Partition Magic) to create multiple primaries and more than 4 logicals, as long as you create them as file systems Windows can see, Win9x will be happy to see and format them ... I can use Windows to see the 4th primary partition on the very end of my disk for instance. I just make sure the overlay is active ;-) A last clue - Linux does not seem happy to mount the Windows partition??? How are you mounting it? I just use mount -t vfat /dev/hdaX /mnt/X and Linux seems fine mounting any one of my Windows partitions be them the first primary, last primary, logical, above or below the 8 gig boundary,

With XP and Win2000 hibernation is controlled by the OS, so hardware hibernation is a rare, emergency occasion. That's why an occasional blue screen is acceptable. The risk of ruining filesystem exists, but it didn't happen in my test on NTFS. System bluescreened , I rebooted and everything worked fine. Cookies and temp files just don't take enough room to count for useable savings. Of course, you can assign 80 MB temp files, but it will be a waste itself. I found that even 5MB is adequate. To fill out the hibernation space I will use a swapfile or some files I don't mind loosing, like copies of MP3's from my home PC. With MP3 files no blue screen should happen. This is how my partitions look like. -8.3GB C:\--140MB E:\3.5GB D:\-- My point is not that the cookies and temp files are required, but that you'll get a blue screen if you destroy the files system on which they are stored. If the FAT points to something that isn't there, it will read garbage back to the program - if it can parse it at all, it won't be happy with what it parses. If it can't it will probably crash - people don't seem to test things by throwing random numbers at them anymore :) If the fat is damaged, then it will in all likelyhood bluescreen when the file access occurs as the pointers will be all over the place. ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

I think by replacing the diffuser with a POC thin film and using the brightness enhancement films I'll double the amount of light from the backlight so that adding the RDF-C which cuts out 50% of the light from the backlight will leave the backlight the same brightness. But if I'm able to turn it way down or off in ambient light I'll be able to use it much less. I should be able to add a good hour to battery run time plus be able to see the screen in full sunlight.

A little fingernail polish remover or windex works well to loosen glue. Do you know the address of the dimmer for the backlight? Is it possible to completely shut it off? Is there any kind of sdk availible for the libretto series? Dunno about an SDK but you might want to look to the Linux community and see if you can find some bits of source code that might help ... IIRC it IS possible to get Linux to control APM such that you CAN get some control of the backlight (at least I remember reading something to that effect on a webpage somewhere when I was looking for how to get Linux working on my L50) ... There's some windows code in Xin's pages (www.fixup.net) that I believe controls the backlight all the way (IIRC). Somewhere around on the net there's a listing of the bios calls for toshiba power control, too. _ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.
