Subject: Linux on a 100CT
I've decided to run Linux on my Libby 100CT (233MHz 64MB RAM). I have a spare
12 Gig drive that I will use only for Linux. DOS/Win98 will stay on the 40Gig.
Last night I partition the 12 Gig as follows:
Partition 1: 128mb Linux Swap
Partition 2: Logical Partition 1: 52mb Boot Linux ext2
Logical Partition 2: 7.2 gig Linux ext3
Partition 3: 100mb Libby hibernate area
Partition 4: 4 gig Linux ext3
To partition I first booted to Partition Magic 8.0 and it saw the drive as an 8
gig. I wrote down the last sector info.
I then booted to EZ-BIOS 9.09 and installed EZ-BIOS. I then booted PM 8.0 and
it now saw the drive as a 12 gig. I made the first partition 8 gig and
adjusted the size until it was the EXACT size that PM saw without EZ-BIOS. I
then created the 100mb hibernate area. Once the hibernate area was established
(do NOT format it) I then cut up the 8 gig portion into swap, boot, and stuff.
The remaining 4 gig was made a Linux stuff partition.
Now the hard part. How do I load the Linux distribution files to the hard
drive? I downloaded Amigo Linux 2.0 to my Windows 2K box but I am wondering
how to get them on the 12 gig drive.
Suggestions?
TIA!
Tony
