A collegue of mine is using w98se with a NTFS driver and ISO images in order to allow files larger than 4GB. He has a small w2k partition as well for ripping the stuff. > > BSOD > IO system verification error in stream.sys, I assume? I've > had my share of those WDM errors ;).

I've had it running under 2.4 and currently under 2.6.22 or 23. Need to check. I've updated the driver from linuxtv.org. > By the way, isn't kernel 2.6 a bit on the heavy side for a > 110ct? Or is it still pretty fast? I've stripped it a bit... And it is working as I can see pretty fast even with X windows which I need anyway. The linux port also contains the full load of Zoomed Video support as well. Which means that before I got again burned with the stream.sys I reversed engineered the Video Port part of the Neomagic driver. When I get the time (which is hard... 4 kids) I'll post my findings... I'm using ripped DVD's to the HD (120Gb currently...) to do dvd playback. I'll prepare in the near future a patch for 2.6 Yes, I'm currently probably the only one who has the libretto with linux and margi dvd-to-go with Zoomed Video. And I'll have to thank a lot of people. Avi.

Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2007 13:28:52 +0200 From: "Avi Cohen Stuart" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: [LIB] Succesfully installed Damn Small Linux (DSL)! I have a working driver for the margi under gentoo 2.6 (I used 2006.1 as the install base) I had a working driver under 2.4 but I have to look as I did recently had a HD crash with my 2.4 stuff on it. I also have a DSL CD waiting to be (ab)used for a couple of months. I've been messing with the DVD-to-Go for more than 5 years now trying to fix a bug with the WDM driver under W2K and XP (I get BSOD in stream.sys) What DVD drive do you use under w98se or do you rip them to the HD and play them as files or as iso? I'm besides the Margi guys themselves probably the most knowable about the margi dvd-to-go. But I still have to release sometime the linux version...

I still prefer Win98se for two reasons: - I can't get my horrible Linksys wpc54 v4 WLAN card to work under Linux (but I could simply buy another model) - Most important reason: my DVD-to-Go card works very well under 98se. If I could get it to work under linux, I would definately abandon 98se. On this mailinglist I noticed some (not many) remarks on Linux with the DVD-to-Go card: Paul bristow said he got one working (did not say how), and I believe you wrote somewhere that it is possible to get one to work under linux. Does your Margi card work well with Gentoo? I know there are linux drivers out there, but I keep running into dead links... Maybe I should start a new topic on DVD-to-Go under Linux... _ Help yourself to FREE treats served up daily at the Messenger Café.

I'm currently using Gentoo on my libretto which I bootstrapped via another laptop.

Date: Tue, 2 Oct 2007 22:27:12 + From: Dan V <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: [LIB] Succesfully installed Damn Small Linux (DSL)! @Avi: DSL uses kernel 2.4 (mine uses 2.4.26). DSL does not use kernel 2.6, as this would easily cause the distro to grow above their beloved maximum of 50 MB. If you want to use a distro similar to DSL, but with 2.6, you could have a look at DSL-N (Damn Small Linux-Not), which does use kernel 2.6. By the way, the reason why I chose DSL is the hardware detection. This is why one can install it one one system and run it on another without any problems. Once DSL is installed, it is also easier to install a full-size distro (like Debian) than it would be to install from scratch. _ Peek-a-boo FREE Tricks & Treats for You! http://www.reallivemoms.com?ocid=TXT_TAGHM&loc=us
