problems installing LINUX on my Libretto 70CT
I make no claims to be a linux guru - but I have discovered the easiest way
to get linux onto a lib is to already have it there in the first place.
I've successfully used a dual boot system: copy the CD into the windows
partition, wake up in dos and run the appropriate batch file for a hard disk
install into another partition. You might need to move some partitions
around first...
Works ok with mandrake 6.1, 7.0, 7.1...anything after that needs more than
32M memory :(
