Subject: Re: linux redhat 7 on a Libretto 50CT
mumble mumble - I'm trying to upgrade my mandrake 6.1 to 7.1 on the ct50 and
I get system crashes as there isn't enough memory.
Sounds like yours is reasonably ok though - I'd be tempted to get the thing
set up without a video driver and select later? I can post my xf86config
file if you want.
