It is simple: You need a second PC with a CD-ROM drive, a serial connection and DOS (see interlnk, intersrv). After one night a CD is transfered to the Libretto's HD. No joke, it works slow but simple and reliable. And so you can avoid to open the Lib to remove the HD for preparing it in another PC.

RE: Help this fuul out
Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2001 10:32:02 From: "neil barnes" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Help this fuul out Off the top of my head - (a) Easiest option - get a 2.5" - 3.5" IDE adaptor and temporarily install the formatted drive in a desktop with a CDrom drive. *Do Not* try and do the windows install there though... (b) Zip drives are great - all the files you need will fit onto one and you can run zip drives under dos. I've loaded windows directly from Zip a couple of times - slow but it works. (c) pkzip and friends - takes a lot of floppies though, and the unzip stage needs the last disk so you can't shuffle...though I think you can copy the zipped disks one at a time into a common directory (been a long time, can't confirm that) so you can get away with just one floppy... I'm sure you can do things e.g. with single floppy linux installs to make a network, or dos network cards talking to shared drives...but you'd probably take longer than just copying the files in teh first place. For info (w95 is the only thing I use so I can't say for 98) you only need the directory that has the .cab files in it (and the other files in the same directory). So you don't need the whole CD.

Re: AW: wireless pcmcia cards
Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2001 12:59:03 +0100 (CET) From: James [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: AW: wireless pcmcia cards Thanks for the info :-) So what is the cheapest?! Do the two companies that you mention make a card and transmitter? I have looked on the web, Orinoco make a pcmcia card but not a base transmitter(i think) What I want to do is really the most basic. One PCMCIA card with a cheap transmitter.

Yes, I've done this. I have tested the Siemens I-Gate wireless LAN and the Lucent Orinoco wireless LAN, both in various configurations, with a Libretto and other PC's. My experience: Both work fine and are easy to install on a Libretto - provided you are familiar with IP and network basics. There are 2 basic possibilities: a so called "ad-hoc-mode", where you can have more PC's with wireless network cards without dedicated server; and the "access point mode", where you need a hardware piece, the access point, to make the bridge from wireless to wired LAN. Altough the "ad-hoc-mode" is cheaper (as a minimum you need 2 wireless LAN-cards), I do not recommend it. It works unstable and there is only very poor security. It is really for test purpose only. Installation may be tricky if you try to install a wireless LAN-card into a desktop PC with an PCMCIA-to-PCI or -ISA Adapter. Not all motherboards work with all cards and all operating system... Current wireless LAN's are specifed as 11 Mbit, but the real througput is much smaller. The Siemens I-Gate was not faster than approx. 3 Mbit and the range was poor (but it was a first-series-product and the developers promised to make significant enhancements...) The Lucent Orinoco works at a real througput of 5 to 6 Mbit, wich seems to be the maximum which is possible with this technology. Also the range of the Lucent product is much better. Within an office the range is not a problem, but it is nearly impossible to make a wireless connection between 2 buildings, even with external antennas, which increase the range. Wireless LAN cards are availble both as 16Bit PCMCIA cards and as Cardbus cards. Cardbus Cards are not compatible with older Librettos. regards Gerhard Gerhard Kapusta Email office: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Email home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] FaxVoicebox: +4989-1488201115 ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---UNSUBSCRIBE--- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=cmd:unsubscribe UNSUBSCRIBE DIGEST-- Use above but add DIGEST to the subject line... ** ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---UNSUBSCRIBE--- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=cmd:unsubscribe UNSUBSCRIBE DIGEST-- Use above but add DIGEST to the subject line... **
