Therefore, you won't have all the features that you would with a 'real TPC'. You can of course, put a 3rd party handwriting app on it like PenOffice, etc and get some of the functionality of a TPC.

U100 screen didn't fold 180 degrees, others were too big or limited in battery life, and I still love the feeling of the pen drawing on the Toshiba R15 screen (tabletpc). Well, in the middle of searching, the FlyBook did come up - but at $2000 for a Taiwanese import that didn't have hardly any support in the USA, forget that (despite a very juicy glossy red cover model). Happily, came across the Fujitsu P1510 that will (hopefully) be released on time Aug 8th. http://www.handtops.com/show/news/105 It's amazing to see everything new + a touch screen squeezed into a 2lbs package similar to the L110. What has me saving up to buy one right away? - the unconfirmed starting price of $1399! Definitely would make the P1510 an immediate buy at this price for me (assuming nothing else it 'wrong' with the unit), and possibly, one of the most flexible new mini-notebook alternatives to what is already out on the market today! Swivel screen = roaming GPS map for car walking about, easy to watch DVD player, PDA killer, etc. etc. This would definitely take care of the need a GPS + PDA + mini-notebook + paper pad for me, and allow me to wrap everything into a 2lbs TabletPC notebook. --- FUJITSU LIFEBOOK P1510 -Intel Centrino mobile technology -Intel Pentium M 753 Dothan Processor 1.2GHz (Ultra Low Voltage) w/2MB L2 cache -Intel 915GMS Mainboard Chipset -512MB DDR2 MicroDIMM @400MHz (PC3200 memory) expandable to 1GB -8.9 Wide SXGA TFT LCD (1024x600 @ 24-bit Color) -Intel 915GMS Video Chipset w/maximum 128MB shared Video RAM -Optional USB FDD -Optional USB Optical Drive -60GB U/DMA100 S.M.A.R.T.

Great read! I'd given up on my Libbys and had pretty much moved entirely over to my Zaurii for portable computing. (I've got an SL-C3000 - a clamshell with a 4gb HD, VGA screen, and USB host. I've actually burnt a CD off of it! Previous to getting the Z I went from the 110ct to a Panasonic Toughbook M34, which is too big, but has a touchscreen like my Libretto 50m and USB. :() Having an option of a low-memory X server makes me interesting in using the 110ct again. I'll probably use it for coding - The Zaurus makes a great unit for text editing, and coding is certainly possible, but it is a little clunky :) What I'm shooting for: Mandrake 10.x/9.2, whichever I can get to work. It's got a fresh 9.2 on it right now, via a USB cdrom install. Blackbox nedit - For coding. Very nice Motif based coding editor with a small footprint. Siag office - looks interesting enough to try. Skipstone - I'm going to set up a compilation server and give this one a go. It looks interesting enough to throw some effort behind as well. I hate dillo, but would rather not pay for opera. I'm refitting the Z because I can, not because I need to sink more cash into it :) Sylpheed-Claws - Improved version of Sylpheed. I'll probably go for XMMS for mp3 playback, unless mp3blaster can do streaming audio. It doesn't look like it. Someone else suggested using rxvt term and gnu screen for a lightweight alternative to a tabbed terminal. Anyone know of a good, lightweight image viewing program? I use gview on my desktop, but I want to avoid gnome software. I'll be using Ko/PI and Ka/PI (KDE Organizer/addressbook, platform independant) for calendaring and address management - they're what I use on the Zaurus and, despite their name, aren't dependant on anything but their own libs. Any other good, lightweight software suggestions? I think I've got a long week ahead of me here :) Tory

I've put drives from one system into another totally different system before and have had limited success. If it's a Windows OS on the drive, and the hardware in the system is plug play, Windows will find the new hardware, usually ask for the OS installation CD, and then set up what it can. I've been left with some things working, and others not working that need drivers installed manually. Swapping drives between my 100 motherboard and the 110 MB usually seemed to go well. Tho' those drives weren't ever ones I left in a system on a long term basis. Starting over with installing the OS on a reformatted drive is always the best way to go though. You don't inherit old problems, or risk conflicts between the old OS installation and the new system you put the drive into. Matt

Sometimes it worked, sometimes not and I have no clue at all why. But I have several times suggested to press Alt-F1, Alt-F2, Alt-F3 or Alt-F4 to see how far the install kernel got. You never reported on this The problem I've had with using the Alt-F1, Alt-F2, Alt-F3 or Alt-F4 idea is that when I wanted to check on what's going on with install is when I think something's not working right. Unfortunately, that is usually the situation...then this technique doesn't work as the Libretto has frozen up due to kernel panic or something In other words, this works well it seems when the install is working OK, but not when the install is not going OK, which is when you want the report Hope this makes sense ;-) However, if there's a way to make this work better, please let me know... ...snip loadlin bzimage root=/dev/ram initrd=pcmcia.dsk rw This is wrong. pcmcia.dsk is a floppy disk image, not a RAM disk image. I had a feeling this was not good... ;-) Second approach, per Slackware install instructions: Loadlin bzimage rw root=/dev/ram initrd=initrd.img load_ramdisk=1 That looks better. That's what I thought... Linux starts loading and then with either approach, I get the following error message: FAT: bogus logical sector size 5345 It sounds like the FAT (=Windows) partition you are installing from has some problems. Have you ever run scandisk? The scan-/chkdsk version from Win2K is much more rigorous BTW. Are there no bad sectors on your HD? Well, didn't report on this, but I swapped out hard drive recently just before recent post...put new 60GB drive in. Reinstalled WinXP Pro fresh...then tried Linux... But I can run scandisk...and see if there's any problems... It may also be that the MBR has irreconcilable entries. The info on each partition is always double, once in CHS and once in absolute sectors. Ofcourse Windows uses one of these, the rest of the world the other, and that is where problems may start. These problems may well be the cause of failure of all your Linux install attempts. But read on.. Yipes. UMSDOS: msdos_read_super failed, mount aborted sh-2021: reiserfs_read_super: can not find reiserfs on ramdisk(1,0) Kernel Panic: VFS: unable to mount rootfs on 01:00 UPDATE: Gokhan was kind enough to check his files and send me his Slackware3.1 install files. This worked up to point where it asks you partition hard drive. Had problems with version of fdisk. Something not right about it Try to dump fdisk and use cfdisk. Various Linux docs about fdisk point out that it has many flaws. I don't remember the details, but it mentioned somewhere that luckily, fdisk will usually (but not always) come up with the right info or words like that (in man fdisk IIRC). I can try this... But as you made so many proper attempts already, I am suspicious that something in your Libretto is flakey. Windows is not too critical especially about disk geometry, so that's wher I would look first. So you think it's hard drive related??? Even though I just put in brand new drive last week??? BTW my apologies if I am wrong, aren't you the one who a while ago complained that when booting from floppy the HD couldn't be seen, and it turned out you had a disk manager on your HD? (...I am away from home currently so can't check the archives) Yes, that was megood memory Philip... If that were true, it would explain a bit. Recent Linux kernels install kernels should be able to recognize disk managers, but certainly not all of them, and may be upset or even break up if these disk managers mislead them. That is just one of the many reasons I try to avoid disk managers like

So would like to clarify a few things and see if anyone has any suggestions... I assume the instructions below were for installing using the hard drive for the install. This is based upon reference shown to the list of files (3 listed). If so, 2 of the 3 files were slightly different than the ones listed. My files copied from the Slackware 9.1 CD-ROM are: slackware/kernels/loadlin.exe slackware/kernels/bare.i/bzImage slackware/rootdsks/pcmcia.dsk Also from Slackware instructions, it said to copy the intrd.img file from the isolinux directory too. So did that as well after I tried installing without it. Put all the files into a directory 'slack'. Then, I entered the following after booting up with floppy drive and into DOS, change directory to c:\slack, then entered the at the DOS prompt. First approach, when I tried to install per post below: loadlin bzimage root=/dev/ram initrd=pcmcia.dsk rw Second approach, per Slackware install instructions: Loadlin bzimage rw root=/dev/ram initrd=initrd.img load_ramdisk=1 Linux starts loading and then with either approach, I get the following error message: FAT: bogus logical sector size 5345 UMSDOS: msdos_read_super failed, mount aborted sh-2021: reiserfs_read_super: can not find reiserfs on ramdisk(1,0) Kernel Panic: VFS: unable to mount rootfs on 01:00 UPDATE: Gokhan was kind enough to check his files and send me his Slackware3.1 install files.

S,... if anyone can provide any input or suggestions that would be greatly appreciated!! I have spent hours and hours trying to get Linux installed and going crazy... Thanks!

Decided to try Slackware 9.1 install again, from hard drive with floppy boot... Tried to do as was suggested in post shown below and found Slackware's hard drive install instructions , but still have problems... So would like to clarify a few things and see if anyone has any suggestions... I assume the instructions below were for installing using the hard drive for the install. This is based upon reference shown to the list of files (3 listed). If so, 2 of the 3 files were slightly different than the ones you list. My files copied from the Slackware 9.1 CD-ROM are: slackware/kernels/loadlin.exe slackware/kernels/bare.i/bzImage slackware/rootdsks/pcmcia.dsk Also from Slackware instructions, it said to copy the intrd.img file from the isolinux directory too. So did that as well after I tried installing without it. Put all the files into a directory 'slack'. Then, I entered the following after booting up with floppy drive and into DOS, change directory to c:\slack, then entered the at the DOS prompt. First approach, when I tried to install per post below: loadlin bzimage root=/dev/ram initrd=pcmcia.dsk rw Second approach, per Slackware install instructions: Loadlin bzimage rw root=/dev/ram initrd=initrd.img load_ramdisk=1 Linux starts loading and then with either approach, I get the following error message: FAT: bogus logical sector size 5345 UMSDOS: msdos_read_super failed, mount aborted sh-2021: reiserfs_read_super: can not find reiserfs on ramdisk(1,0) Kernel Panic: VFS: unable to mount rootfs on 01:00 So if anyone can provide any input or suggestions that would be greatly appreciated!! I have spent hours and hours trying to get Linux installed and going crazy... While trying to think of what other issues could be affecting install, I wondered whether there could be some issue with my hard drive and its setup? If that's a possibility, I could bite the bullet and reformat and start fresh. Thanks! Mark Srebnik Still Frustrated (but persistent!)

I have spent hours and hours trying to get Linux installed and going crazy... While trying to think of what other issues could be affecting install, I wondered whether there could be some issue with my hard drive and its setup? If that's a possibility, I could bite the bullet and reformat and start fresh. Thanks! Mark Srebnik Still Frustrated (but persistent!)

So would like to clarify a few things and see if anyone has any suggestions... I assume the instructions below were for installing using the hard drive for the install. This is based upon reference shown to the list of files (3 listed). If so, 2 of the 3 files were slightly different than the ones you list. My files copied from the Slackware 9.1 CD-ROM are: slackware/kernels/loadlin.exe slackware/kernels/bare.i/bzImage slackware/rootdsks/pcmcia.dsk Also from Slackware instructions, it said to copy the intrd.img file from the isolinux directory too. So did that as well after I tried installing without it. Put all the files into a directory 'slack'. Then, I entered the following after booting up with floppy drive and into DOS, change directory to c:\slack, then entered the at the DOS prompt. First approach, when I tried to install per post below: loadlin bzimage root=/dev/ram initrd=pcmcia.dsk rw Second approach, per Slackware install instructions: Loadlin bzimage rw root=/dev/ram initrd=initrd.img load_ramdisk=1 Linux starts loading and then with either approach, I get the following error message: FAT: bogus logical sector size 5345 UMSDOS: msdos_read_super failed, mount aborted sh-2021: reiserfs_read_super: can not find reiserfs on ramdisk(1,0) Kernel Panic: VFS: unable to mount rootfs on 01:00 So if anyone can provide any input or suggestions that would be greatly appreciated!! I have spent hours and hours trying to get Linux installed and going crazy... While trying to think of what other issues could be affecting install, I wondered whether there could be some issue with my hard drive and its setup? If that's a possibility, I could bite the bullet and reformat and start fresh. Thanks! Mark Srebnik Still Frustrated (but persistent!)

Re: [LIB] How to Install Linux on 110CT from HD?
Date: Thu, 21 Oct 2004 18:27:05 -0700 From: Mark Srebnik [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LIB] How to Install Linux on 110CT from HD? Decided to try Slackware 9.1 install again, from hard drive with floppy boot... Tried to do as was suggested in post shown below and found Slackware's hard drive install instructions , but still have problems... So would like to clarify a few things and see if anyone has any suggestions... I assume the instructions below were for installing using the hard drive for the install. This is based upon reference shown to the list of files (3 listed). If so, 2 of the 3 files were slightly different than the ones you list. My files copied from the Slackware 9.1 CD-ROM are: slackware/kernels/loadlin.exe slackware/kernels/bare.i/bzImage slackware/rootdsks/pcmcia.dsk Also from Slackware instructions, it said to copy the intrd.img file from the isolinux directory too. So did that as well after I tried installing without it. Put all the files into a directory 'slack'. Then, I entered the following after booting up with floppy drive and into DOS, change directory to c:\slack, then entered the at the DOS prompt. First approach, when I tried to install per post below: loadlin bzimage root=/dev/ram initrd=pcmcia.dsk rw Second approach, per Slackware install instructions: Loadlin bzimage rw root=/dev/ram initrd=initrd.img load_ramdisk=1 Linux starts loading and then with either approach, I get the following error message: FAT: bogus logical sector size 5345 UMSDOS: msdos_read_super failed, mount aborted sh-2021: reiserfs_read_super: can not find reiserfs on ramdisk(1,0) Kernel Panic: VFS: unable to mount rootfs on 01:00 So if anyone can provide any input or suggestions that would be greatly appreciated!! I have spent hours and hours trying to get Linux installed and going crazy... While trying to think of what other issues could be affecting install, I wondered whether there could be some issue with my hard drive and its setup? If that's a possibility, I could bite the bullet and reformat and start fresh. Thanks! Mark Srebnik Still Frustrated (but persistent!)

No big deal btw, as the only integrated peripheral HW to be set up this way comprises the OPL3 soundcard and the serial and parallel ports. From another perspective, as your Libby is apparently not at fault, is your CD-ROM player OK? If your Linux setup remains problematic, just transplant your HD to another desktop and install Linux there. Do not reboot yet. Install XFree86, specify Neomagic NM 2160 and some default resolution, but do not boot into graphics mode yet. Let Linux reboot for the first time with the HD back in the Libretto. From then on you can setup Linux further using Harddrake (Mandrake) or vasm (VL). P.

Definitely helps keep me going and not giving up on Linux! However, things don't seem to be going well for me Maybe I don't understand things correctly, but I did enter the command as you had written in your previous email: loadlin vmlinuz initrd=all.rdz ramdisk_size=128000 root=/dev/ram3 acpi=off vga16 The problem with Mandrake install always was occurring after it recognized the CDRW/DVD drive (using my USB cable) and CD drive seems to take over install process. Always gets stuck when the installer says 'Configuring PCMCIA Cards'...although it's interesting that in the very top right of the installer window it says 'hard drive detection' Also, the floppy drive keeps working and light is continually on and doesn't go off. I tried Jim Drouillard's suggestion to disconnect floppy after CD drive starts working but makes no differenceThanks for the suggestion Jim! So I also tried connecting my CD drive with the PCMCIA cable and used the command you wrote below. Same problem... Then tried to do your other suggestion and for some unknown reason can't seem to copy files from the DVD (from the Linux magazine). Keep getting error messages in Windows when it tries to copy file over to hard drive. Also, tried using DOS copy command after booting with Win98 boot floppy. That didn't work either! Starting to wonder if maybe there might be a problem with the files on the DVD??? Maybe best to download Linux install files myself instead of using these magazine CD's and DVD's???

Just tried what you suggested with Mandrake... After starting the install with the loadlin command as you describe, got a bunch of text and at the end: Kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 01:03 = kernel can't find the ramdisk file system. I think it intends to say it can't find the image. Did you specify the ramdisk image and -size? I do not know the commands for USB CD-ROM players. For Mandrake 9.2 to be installed using a PCMCIA CD-ROM player I used: loadlin vmlinuz initrd=all.rdz root=/dev/ram3 ramdisk_size=128000 vga=785 acpi=off pcmcia automatic=method:cdrom (all on one line). Perhaps change pcmcia into usb (w/o quotes) and try again? If it still won't go, copy the entire \Mandrake dir from your CD-ROM to HD, too, and use something like loadlin vmlinuz initrd=all.rdz root=/dev/ram3 ramdisk_size=128000 acpi=off and specify a HD install when asked (it will also ask for the location of the \Mandrake tree.). The acpi=off thing makes little difference BTW (at least here). BTW I figure you got just one CD-ROM for Mandrake 9.1? Now, I did copy over the alt0 directory on the CD I have. However, wonder if it matters or not that this was a CD from a Linux magazine?? Just check if there's a vmlinuz and an all.rdz file. Also, wouldn't mind trying VectorLinux too... Do you use the same loadlin command or is it different? Vectorlinux? IIRC it is loadlin ide rw initrd=initrd.img root=/dev/ram or so (ide instead of vmlinuz). Details are in the vectorlinux message board / installation forum (see their web site). Philip

Here's some more. Try to install from HD. Simply copy the contents of \isolinux\alt0 on MDK9.1 CDROM #1 to a directory on your HD. Next download ftp://elserv.ffm.fgan.de/pub/linux/loadlin-1.6/update-1.6c/loadlin.exe.gz (= latest loadlin.exe) and unpack it with winzip or so into this \isolinux\alt0 directory on your HD. Then boot into plain DOS (when booting W98, hit F8 early in the boot process to get a menu and choose the lowermost option, otherwise boot from a DOS floppy). Then, change directory to \isolinux\alt0 on your HD and start the installation with: loadlin vmlinuz initrd=all.rdz ramdisk_size=128000 root=/dev/ram3 acpi=off vga16 and see how far you get this time. Any way to get a Linux LiveCD to work??? On a Libretto? Not that I know of. BTW I just tried VectorLinux 4.3 and installed it on my Lib110. Worked the same way using loadlin; only thing is that all installation files had to be copied to a directory \veclinux on HD (some 400 MB in total). VectorLinux is *much* faster than Mandrake, boots faster and it has a very recent kernel (2.6.x). One glitch is that I couldn't get my HP Deskjet printer to work (it may be that the cups network printer driver is broken). For the rest I like VL43 very well. Good luck, P.

What boot disk are you using to do the installation? You have to take a look in the images directory on the first Mandrake 9 cd, and you'll see a bunch of IMG files. I believe the standard/most common boot disk is the cdrom.img image. The one you want for a USB CD-ROM install is the usb.img. It should give the details, including how to make a boot cd from an image in the install documentation - which is a text file on the CD itself.

Download all drivers from www.csd.toshiba.com -- you don't need any recovery CDs to run the Libretto fine. Next, you can simply boot to the floppy drive, fdisk and format the HD, reboot and load up the DOS CD_ROM drivers, then copy the entire \win98 directory from the install CD onto the HD, then run setup.exe to install win98, then install the drivers you have from www.csd.toshiba.com.

Err... That was mainly it. What boot disk are you using to do the installation? You have to take a look in the images directory on the first Mandrake 9 cd, and you'll see a bunch of IMG files. I believe the standard/most common boot disk is the cdrom.img image. The one you want for a USB CD-ROM install is the usb.img. It should give the details, including how to make a boot cd from an image in the install documentation - which is a text file on the CD itself. I can't be any more specific, as I don't have my Madrake 9 cds here right now.

Mark Srebnik wrote: ...snip Having successfully installed WinXP Pro on my 110CT (works pretty well once tweaked), I'm now ready to install Linux on it! ...snip 1) I used PartitionMagic to setup a 20 GB Linux partition and a 500MB swap space partition before it on my 60GB hard drive. Both of these partitions are after my 'C' (WinXP) and 'D' (Backup) partitions. You may already have created a problem. AFAIK you have to have at least a small /boot partition before the 8 GB hard disk boundary. But then again, with modern bootloaders this may not be needed anymore. Otherwise, as per your partition scheme, you might be able to boot Linux from the WinXP boot mgr screen using bootpart (see www.winimage.com). 2) Then I realized that my EXP CDRW/DVD drive was not a bootable drive. Even that is irrelevant as the Lib110 simply doesn't allow booting from USB or PCMCIA. It leaves it to an operating system to initialize PCMCIA USB, the Lib's BIOS is just not equipped for that. Read in Slackware instructions that you can use Smart Boot Mgr on floppy disk to start boot, then get a CD drive recognized. However, for some reason I tried the same. Problem is that the BIOS does not initialize the USB/PCMCIA ports, and Smartbootmgr cannot do it either (though it can use them once initialized. A subtle difference). There you are. it doesn't see my CD drive. Then I did the manual port assignment per the instructions (using the ports given) but when I tried to do rescan for drives, it doesn't seem to rescan So, before I waste even more hours, I thought I'd ask this illustrious group for advice! I keep reading about 'network install' as way to get around this bootable CD issue but I don't have another PC right now. I have only experience with Mandrake (Vector Linux is on my list, I have to sort out how to start its instalation using loadlin). To wit: For Mandrake 9.2, you have insufficient memory (I tried, but Mandrake install mumbled that more than 64 MB RAM was needed for *any* network install I tried (NFS, FTP, HTTP, you-name-it)). PLIP seems to be no more option these days :-( Only way out (for me) was to install from PCMCIA CD-ROM. If you own an extended port replicator w/ USB, you have more options (see the list for a recent report). For Mandrake 10 it's worse. The install kernel apparently expects a PCI IDE hard disk, and the Lib has only ISA IDE. During install you'll see that it keeps searching for a hard disk on imm (aka ZIP) and scsi, it simply does not see the ISA HD. It may be that the final kernel knows about it, but the install kernel is the bottleneck (oh yes, it asks about the Options or Modules floppy but of course the install kernel can't access the Lib's non-standard PCMCIA floppy Anybody know a way out?) Also, read about a DOS install, but not sure about how to do that. Copy the entire /Mandrake or /RedHat directory of CD1 to a FAT16 or FAT32 drive. Somewhere on that drive, make another small directory containing the install kernel, loadlin.exe (search the Web) and the install boot ram disk image. Then boot into an as bare DOS as possible and do something like loadlin vmlinuz initrd= options Once you got a basic install, you can use urpmi or package managers to install from the rest of the CD-ROMs. On my web page (home.hccnet.nl/pr.nienhuis/Lib110CT.html) I've got some hints on installation of Linux and on cooperation of a.o. Linux with other operating systems on Librettos, including the exact syntax of the line above (for Mandrake). Also, I did see on EXP's website www.expnet.com that there is a DOS driver for the CD drive. Should I install this? If I were you, I would try it anyway just to know if you have another option for your installation somehow. As the Lib has a quite dumb BIOS (to current standards) DOS access may save your butt someday.
