How did you go about enabling the network card from a boot floppy? A few years back David Chien wrote out the procedure for getting DOS drivers for an HP M820E CD/CD-R-ROM drive enabled from a floppy. I'm guessing the process to enable a network card is similar. There's another option to install Linux on a Libretto: using loadlin to start an installation from a DOS prompt. The images needed can be found on most linux iso images. That said ... finding the proper kernel options is a different thing, however... I would not recommend even thinking about any of the "big" desktop environments a la KDE or Gnome. Back when Neil Barnes was on the list, he recommend the IceWM shell for a copy of Mandrake 7.1 he helped me set up on my L50. None of the windows managers I tried at that point could match the performance of IceWM. True. The last Linux I had on my Lib was Mandrake 9.2 w. IceWM & dfm (for the desktop icons). Other usable light-weight distros I've tried on my L110: Damn Small Linux, VectorLinux. FreeBSD is also a good candidate (though not a Linux version). P.

No need to be condescending. Presumably you subscribed for a reason and the only reason it is now annoying to you is that you are no longer interested. I did a search and found this http://www.mail-archive.com/libretto@basiclink.com/msg16212.html> that has instructions for how to unsubscribe. They used to be appeneded to the end of each message sent to the list, not sure why that stopped. --Jim Dempsey-- >From that link: ** ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages. The reply mail should be addressed to: libretto@basiclink.com - Then replace any text on the message's subject line with: cmd:unsubscribe TO UNSUBSCRIBE DIGEST-- Do above but with this on subject line: cmd:unsubscribe digest ** So do this: 1. Address an email to: libretto@basiclink.com . . By replying to any list message, this will be done automatically. 2. Delete any text in the email's Subject field if any exists, and type this: cmd:unsubscribe . . Or if you're subscribed to the digest, put this in the subject field: cmd:unsubscribe digest 3. Then send the email. You'll then get email back from the list server confirming the fact that you've been unsubscribed. Over the years... many, many people have not gotten that right. All kinds of combinations of those characters have shown up. Let me make this as clear as I possibly can. The characters have to be typed into the subject field EXACTLY as I typed them above. That means the characters I typed above which appear AFTER the colon (:) and the space that follows it (: ). Let me repeat what has to be put into the subject line of the email: == To unsubscribe from the list, type JUST THESE CHARACTERS into the subject field: cmd:unsubscribe To unsubscribe from the digest, type JUST THESE CHARACTERS into the subject field: cmd:unsubscribe digest ==

Nah, it was very simple: - Have both floppy drive and PCMCIA network card in PCMCIA slots (I used a 10Mb 3com card at the time, forgot the exact name) - Use Mandrake Linux boot floppy (I seem to remember that there were several ones, one of which had the PCMCIA drivers included - I'd have to look it up) - Boot from it, select network install, give some details as to where to find the installation repository The installer will then detect and use the PCMCIA network card. Using the PCMCIA SCSI card worked the same way - no extra drivers or messing with DOS stuff involved.
