 Subject: One for the linux types...

 Two things...

 Having just had a windows proggie roast my partition tables (to
 the extent
 that I've had to write code to write to the disk to make it
 fdiskable again
 - both windows and linux fdisks barfed on it!) I've just had to reinstall
 from scratch - still in progress.

 (1) I managed to get mandrake 8 installed by loading it with the
 disk on a
 desktop machine, and then letting HardDrake do it's stuff and
 unload most of
 the drivers, and playing with the X drivers to make it use the
 chips driver.
 It works! But the news is, on a CT50, even overclocked, don't
 bother. KDE2
 and Konqueror are just too slow to be of practical use. Ah well,
 back to the
 drawing board...

 (2) So I put M7.1 back on, from the hard disk using a floppy to
 boot it so
 that I can get the text mode install, which is the only one that
 will run in
 the available memory.
 The snag now is that even though the psion gold card
 modem/network combo was
 in the slot, and was probed, the network install didn't find it. I know I
 had it working previously but I have no idea how I did it. Any offers?

 Cheers,

 Neil

 Win2K pro can be installed with only 32MB of memory. However, to be anything
 useful, you need at least 64MB. Otherwise, you spend most of your time
 watching Win2k trashing the disk.

Admittedly I watched it get to login and turned off the machine, although its
now a K6 - 200MHz with 48Mb running W2K server, and he never turns it of, so
boot up isnt a big problem.

Cheers

Dave
