Have problems installing LINUX on my Libretto 70CT It's from memory...but...mandrake 7.1 went kinda this way: I do recall that it took a lot of experimentation. Reason is that it's very tight for memory on 32M. I started with a blank 6G disk, formatted in the Lib with a 4G or so fat32 partition and loaded the win95b stuff I needed. Once the network was up, I copied the linux CD from a shared drive on the desktop machine. Somewhere in the (um) \dos\utils there is a readme and a selection of boot disc images. I don't recall whether I ran the boot images directly from loadlin and dos, or whether I made a floppy and booted from there, but you need the image for a hard disc load. You must use the text mode and you must use the middle of the three 'intelligence' options otherwise you run out of memory (I can't recall which one, it's one down from 'expert') When it gets to formatting the disc, *even though it was formatted in the Lib* it will try and grab the hibernation space so make sure you leave the last 40M or so (in complete cylinders) free. I leave 128M for swap space but I do a lot of compilation. Sooner or later it will ask you where the image is...so remember where you left it and everything should be fine. Once it's running, you can play with kpackage and remove the things you don't need. In particular: there's a bug in the logging script which means that the logs grow enormously...fix on the mandrake site, or there's one somewhere in the archives here from Christian. Hope that's enough to get things kicking... Bad news: 7.2 won't install *in the lib* though it may be possible to do it in other ways. But I think the 1.x version of kde is better suited to the lib anyway :) Neil From: Eiren K.

Have 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.

So my theory was clearly wrong, but what do I replace it with? In particular, where can I safely start my /usr partition? Mike Miller Mike, Here's great info for your hibernation issue.

If this part lays somewhere in the middle of a Linux partition the latter will be partly or wholly destroyed after one hibernation In the original disk simply the last 18 cylinders were reserved for hibernation : raw size of 1.6 GB disk :788/64/63 (C/H/S), Linux usable size :770/64/63 (C/H/S) However, with this new disk things were much more complicated as the Libretto BIOS - just like many older PCs - can't recognize disks larger than 8.4 GB. After some disasters (a trashed second partition and a trashed swap space !) I found out that hibernation takes place in the first sectors AFTER the 8.4 GB. To put things absolutely clear: it is NOT at the end of the 10 GB and it is also NOT just BEFORE the end of the 8.4 GB. After finding this out I decided upon the following partitioning scheme that already works flawlessly for some time without causing any damage to the Linux partitions after several hibernations and fscks / memory checks : Layout of the 10 GB disk : 1222 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors My partitioning scheme : Linux partition :1 - 192 (1.5 GB) Work partition : 193 - 1015 (6.5 GB) Swap partition : 1016 - 1023 ( 64 MB) Hibernation : 1024 - 1929 ( 48 MB) (can be smaller : only need 32 MB) Third partition : 1030 - 1222 (1.5 GB) Fdisk reports the following : Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1222 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 192 1542208+ 83 Linux native /dev/hda2 193 1015 6610747+ 83 Linux native /dev/hda3 1016 1023 6426083 Linux native /dev/hda4 1024 1222 1598467+ 5 Extended /dev/hda5 1024 1029 48163+ 70 DiskSecure Multi-Boot /dev/hda6 1030 1222 1550241 83 Linux native ** 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... **

Re: hibernation solution
Date: Thu, 5 Jul 2001 15:34:24 -0400 From: Lawrence Young [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: hibernation solution Here is my simple solution: (1) attach the HDD to Lib and run FDISK to allocate the primary partition to the maximum it can handle. (2) attach the HDD to desktop machine with Win2K and create a dummy partition of size 150MB right after the first partition created by Lib. This is the space for hibernation data. I figure 150MB should be enough. (3) Create and format a third partition from Win2K right after the dummy partition. I ran Win2K on my L100 so there is no problem seen the extended partition.
