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.
