Re[2]: [LIB] Win XP on L100
Date: Wed, 4 Dec 2002 12:46:21 -0600 From: Martin Wedel [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re[2]: [LIB] Win XP on L100 I run XP on my OC'd 100 (233mhz) with 64Mb of ram, it runs as well as you would expect an older laptop to run. I use it with a delorme earthmate/Street Atlas USA for navigation (all works great except voice commands, just not enough oomph) while playing VBR mp3s using winamp 2.X and running netstumbler, all simultaneously. I just suspend the machine when I park, so figure at least 2 times a day, absolutely zero stability issues, and I haven't cold booted it in over a month. YMMV, but I'm quite satisfied with XP, and the additional integration of wireless configuration makes it nice. -- Best regards, Martinmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

[LIB] Win XP
Date: Wed, 04 Dec 2002 13:28:53 -0600 From: Sherrill Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Win XP I have been running XP successfully for over a week now on my 100CT with 64 meg ram. There's probably good reason that it won't install with less. At 64 meg, it's slow but performs flawlessly. Hibernate and suspend work as they should. An added benefit is that THERE IS NO MORE PROBLEM WITH THE 8 GIG HARD DRIVE LIMIT! XP sees the whole drive and so do Norton Systemworks 2003 and PM8. XP makes its own 64k file for suspend, so no more worries about leaving a gap after 8 gig on the drive, either. (I've installed a 40 gigger.) PCcards hot swap with no problem, at least my USB, wireless network adapter, and Sandisk CF cards do. XP even automatically loaded drivers for my floppy drive. I repeat, it's slow, but for web browsing and a few other things, it's fine. ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

Let say if you let your Lib standby for a long time that battery running low to a critical level, the BIOS hibernation procedure will take place no matter what you tell your XP or 2000 to do. When this happens, your data located after 8GB boundary will be wiped out.

I have been thinking of giving Debian a try, to see how the result of the non-commercial distribution model compares. I have not really looked at Mandrake. Have you any comments on the pros and cons when compared to alternative distributions? Hey Digby, Mandrake, mostly because it was (at the time) a modern distribution that would install without too many problems. Also, it's compiled for 586 and I hoped that would speed things up. Installation can be done either in a different machine provided you remember to put the stuff in to get the right video driver, or in a text-only mode. There are complications, so have a look for some of the detailed instructions I wrote for Matt - it's been a long time :) Most current distributions need 64M and - critically - an 800*600 screen for the pretty graphics - and some of them need a second floppy (early redhat forex) which is problematical. I've had most success booting from a pcmcia image and a cd or a hd image with the cd data copied to the fat partition. I did successfully get gentoo onto it but that was scary (and slow) and required a minimum system (with chmod and tar) before you start. There's an explanation somewhere on the gentoo site that I wrote. Mandrake 7.1 is a bit dated now - the files are a bit old - but the kde it comes with is fast enough (cos it doesn't have all the nifty stuff) and in fact I prefer that to later kdes. Note that X4 doesn't work until the latest version, 3.3.6 is recommended in 16 bit for speed. Biggest plus on 7.1 - it was the first distribution with reiserfs and never having to wait while 12 gig got checked was rather nice. It works fine on hibernation - which is more than I can say for the portege - and the pcmcia stuff works better than on the portege too.
