Caldera Linux on L50

Admittedly, I didn't have time to investigate in detail and the method I used below might work. I use mandrake 6.1 at present on the Lib 50, without any drivers for the floppy as it's so rare I use it - the technique was to dual partition the 6g disk as 4 and 2g for windows and linux respectively, then copied the mandrake disk from a networked windows machine and launched from the /mandrake/dosutils directory.

"SE" stands for Second Editon (not Special Edition :). All off-the-shelf Win98 boxes should be SE by now. Same for all desktops and notebooks that shipped with Win98 late last year and this year. Anyway, during bootup, the splash screen will display "Windows 98 Second Editon" instead of just "Windows 98". Update from Microsoft? Nah...they would rather you "upgrade" to WinME. :) -Message Viboon is replying to begins- From: Brad Waddell [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 16, 2000 9:32 AM To: Libretto [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Subject: other OS's Date: Sun, 15 Oct 2000 17:26:05 -0700 From: Brad Waddell [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: other OS's [cut] Where can you get Win98SE?

Where can you get Win98SE? Does it download from Microsoft when you update, otherwise how do you obtain it? thanks! For the most part, you can 1) Update Win98 to Win98 using the service pack upgrades at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ 2) Update it using the CD-ROM disc they sell at: http://www.microsoft.com/windows98/downloads/default.asp 3) Buy it in the stores or at a local computer dealer (www.microtimes.com dealers in S.Calif. sell them by the truckload as do ebay.com and other online stores listed in www.shopper.com) In short, for 99% of the features found in Win98SE, you can simply download it using Windows Update and be done with it. There might be a few itsy bitsy differences, but mostly non-issues for 99% of the users out there. One for example is the proper operation of ICM (Image color matching) under Win98SE according to Photoshop users. Beyond that, there really isn't anything you'd have to worry about since the majority of the downloads only update the big components of Win98 (IE, Outlook, etc.), and the usual security patches and bug fixes that even Win98 has a truck load of to download. Naturally, the security problems are mostly moot points once you've ripped out IE using 98Lite.net's program and stuck in Netscape (while it does have problems, it isn't as bad as one can see by the numerous IE updates out vs. the minor Netscape updates). = adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __ Do You Yahoo!?
