you'll have to take out the HDD and copy install files to it from a desktop if you 
have no bootable CD or FDD.
or
if you have a bootable FDD you can setup the HDD as FAT32 and copy the files via FDD
partition HDD C=9GB D=the rest (FAT32)
RAR up a small OS like win98
copy to HDD via FDD (takes a LONG time)
install that,
then copy XP files to hdd in win 98
reboot from FDD and install XP from the partition

NOTE: you may want to keep a small (100MB) ghost image of win 98 (for future rescue) 
on the D partition...
from memory L1 has no real PCMCIA support in dos as far as I know (if you can get a 
LAN card working in dos, that will be faster)
from memory L1 firewire and USB are not supported fully in dos.

just my opinions... might be a better way

 I finally had a virus get past Eudora somehow.

 I got a boot sector virus that tells me every time I boot that my copy of windows is 
 illegal.  So, I've scrubbed the drive, and have it booting normally with win98 sys 
 on C:.

 How can I get XP installed??  I have no CDROM in the machine, only USB and Firewire 
 ports.

 I tried the 6 disk boot deal from Microsoft, and all I get is a stop error after 
 the 6th disk. Very tedious.

 Shipping and tax would probably be the killer. I am in London, so
 it would probably be better for me to pick one up next time
 I am in the US. My last trip was about 4 weeks ago, but I
 don't have any new appointments yet. If you still have
 it next time I am over, I would be interested.

  I just want to sell everything in one bundle.  My new laptop (big heavy pig

Subject: Re: [LIB] 110CT For Sale

It doesn't seem to be predictable. I have sometimes bought new stuff
that has come through without any tax, and other times have had tax
added to second hand goods. And it doesn't usually pay to argue with
them once they decide.

The only pattern I have found is that if you use a courier like UPS
the chances of being hit for tax are much higher than by using USPS.

But in any case, I would imagine shipping alone would be a significant
fraction of $US 300.00 once it was packed well enough to survive the
trip. But I am happy to be told otherwise if anyone knows of an economical
method.

[LIB] Additional Information on 110CT for sale.

2003-02-28 Thread Reves, Mike
Date: Fri, 28 Feb 2003 11:38:00 -0700
From: Reves, Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Additional Information on 110CT for sale.

Since I have been bombarded by people wanting to know more information on my
Libretto that I am sell I thought I send the Q/A over to the group.  I'd
like to make this sale as easy as possible! :)

I am interested in your LIb 110. I am sorry but I have to give you the 
usual drill...:-)

1. Are there any cracks, deeps scratch or stain on the case or screen? 

No deep scratches on the case just normal wear, and screen is completely
intact.

2. Any dead pixels? 

I haven't turned it on in over a month, so I can get back to you tomorrow on
this, but as far as I'm are of, there are none.

3. Are the hinges tight? 

Nice and tight.  I bought it in 1999, and I rarely used it.  The last year
or so, I think I opened it up maybe once a month or so.

4. Any broken latch? 

No

5. Any missing keys? 

No

6. Any bad sectors?

I have not done a scan disk in a while, but I can check, and send a you a
snap shot pic of it tomorrow if you'd like.

7. Any defects you may want to tell me that I forgot to ask?  

The only thing - and I stated it earlier, is that the battery is dead.  It
definitely doesn't hold a charge.

9.  Do you have the AC adapter?

I have two.  One came with the original shipment, and the other came with my
extended replicator.

8. And lastly of course, how much are you planning to sell everything. Sorry
for the 'usual' so many questions!!

I'd like to sell it as a whole bundle.  I really don't need any of other
peripherals once it's sold. I believe it still have the replacement tabs for
the mouse pointer, as well as the sound card jack.  

10.  How much memory is installed?

I only have the standard 32meg.  When I used it on a day to day basis, I
never ran into any problems with memory issues, so I never upgraded.  I see
it on Ebay for $40.

11.  Drive size? 

Standard 4 gig.   I have it partitioned 2 gig and 2 gig.

**12.  233mhz or overclocked? 

Standard 233mhz

**13.   Do you have the manuals, orginal disks?  

I believe I have most of them, but will have to do an inventory on it to see
if anything is missing.

**14.  Is the OfficePro a licensed copy, or just installed on the drive?

No, it's just an installed copy

I agree, but this one does not come with original operating system in any form 
including on a cd.  That means if you want an OS and don't already have one, that cost 
is added on.  Also, it won't have any Libretto specific drivers.  You have to get 
those.  The one that was for sale for about $300 plus shipping is not so out of

 I'd forget the first link too unless you want to rebuild the complete
 machine.  The hard drive has been wiped.
 
 Of course, perhaps that is exactly what you want...

I would imagine a clean install of the OS would be the first thing
you would do with any second hand system. Otherwise who knows what
state is has been left in. In fact I would do that with a new system,
just to make sure I new how to resurrect it before I came to rely on it.

To use it as a backup machine, I would have to replace the hard disk
if it was less than 20GB, and then just duplicate the content of
my current machine onto it.

I don't use Windows in any case, so what is on the disk is not
going to be of much concern, except maybe to allow an initial
checkout of the hardware.

fdisk /mbr method is a much easier and safe way to clean up the partition
sectors in a HDD. Of course, the DEBUG is a handy tool but you need to put a
few lines of assembly code to call BIOS INT13 to wipe out the master boot
sector. I can't believe you still remember how to do it, David. Last time I
did it, I had to open my dusty DOS book:)

As for boot from CD-ROM, it requires BIOS support. Not sure what is support
in L1 BIOS. I'll just hook up a 2.5 to 3.5 converter and copy all the XP
files from another computer to the HDD and run setup from HDD directly.

Fair enough. I'll agree that lack of availability of intallation media
is potential problem for anyone wanting Windows. Although I would have
thought anyone no this list would be buying a second or replacement
unit and hence have media.

In any case, whatever the  ebay unit goes for would be a reasonable
metric for those of us not needing installation media.

If anyone is watching the auction, please let us know what it ends
up going for (to save us all watching it).

 I would imagine a clean install of the OS would be the first thing
 you would do with any second hand system. Otherwise who knows what
 state is has been left in. In fact I would do that with a new system,
 just to make sure I new how to resurrect it before I came to rely on it.
 
 To use it as a backup machine, I would have to replace the hard disk
 if it was less than 20GB, and then just duplicate the content of
 my current machine onto it.
 
 I don't use Windows in any case, so what is on the disk is not
 going to be of much concern, except maybe to allow an initial
 checkout of the hardware.

  As for boot from CD-ROM, it requires BIOS support. Not sure what is 
support 
 in L1 BIOS. I'll just hook up a 2.5 to 3.5 converter and copy all the XP 
 files from another computer to the HDD and run setup from HDD directly.
  
  A: I'd need the converter.
  B: I'd need to get the HD out of the L1, which is not trivial.
  C: I'd have to dig into my main system.. :(
  
  Problems..

Problem A:  http://www.compgeeks.com/products.asp?cat=HDD   for the 
2.5-3.5 adapter, it's the cheapest one I've found, but you'll have to pay 
for shipping.

KDE? Of course not!! I don't even run it on my desktop pc, I don't like 
it at all... I'm running Enlightenment, and I also use text terminals 
quite often. It's running really fine. :-)

argh USB and DOS... I don't think it'll work... [;-)]
But you can still have a 1 or 2 foot floppy disk with linux kernel and
some basic programs that will support your usb CD [:-)]
Linux is great !! (I'm running Linux Mandrake 9 on my Lib50 32Mo RAM and
20GB HDD)
Bloody hell! I hope you're not trying to run kde on it then? The last Mandrake 
that was usable on the 50 (or 70) was imho 7.1 with IceWm.
