Heat
Date: Wed, 08 Aug 2001 21:49:34 -0700 From: John Liu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Heat I recently got a Libretto and am wondering about the amount of heat it generates. The machine is a 100CT, 64MB, 2GB. I use it with a Linksys wireless PC card. I have installed CPUIdle. The Lib gets rather warm on the center of the underside, about where the silver data sticker is located. Not quite "hot" but "warm", say like the outside of a thick-walled mug of hot coffee. Sometimes I leave it on in the USB docking station and when I remove it, that part of the machine is verging on "hot", say like a tall glass of just-poured hot tea - you can hold it, but you'd sort of like to put it down. My questions are, first, is this normal? Second, suppose one disassembled the Lib and drilled a grid of ventilation holes in the plastic case - would that effectively cool the machine?

powerup problem
Date: Wed, 8 Aug 2001 15:37:15 -0600 (MDT) From: Tom Dixon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: powerup problem I have a 100, and just recently it started having issues starting up. When I first turn it on, 80% of the time the lights flash, but I never get any screen, nor does it ever hit the disk. I pull the battery, put it back, and turn it on again, and it's fine. It's never failied to boot on the 2nd try. It is very frustrating when it happens after saving to disk, and switching to a new battery, cause it messes up the restore, and I have to boot and fsck everything (running openbsd). Any help would be, well, helpful. -tom ** 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... **

Date: Wed, 08 Aug 2001 21:31:31 From: "neil barnes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: CPU fans... David, A minor confusion here (probably on my part): you say hibernate to disc lasts only as long as the battery - on the 50, I've swapped hibernated discs between separate machines without problems, which rather suggests that once it's on the disc, there it stays. I've only done this with linux - I don't trust windows to hibernate or restore properly and only do it occasionally.

RE: Linux Install?
Date: Wed, 8 Aug 2001 10:12:16 +0200 From: "Robbert J. van Herksen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: Linux Install? Hi there, Michael. Now installing RedHat v7.0 Linux on my Libby 70. I recently bought a Mobile CD-Rom drive (PCMCIA) supported by TOHIBA. Installed DOS plkus the DOS drivers to access the CD, that worked okay. I copied the files loadlin.exe, vmlinuz and initrd.img from the first CD, and started the installation with: C:loadlin vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img The kernel started to run, and the installation menu came up, good!!! After some questions, there was the question: "Do you have a driver disk?" The next question was: is the CDrom interface SCSI or Other. I selected "Other", but it wants a driver disk again!!! RH 7 doesn't seem to be aware of the ATAPI CD-Rom interface, so it doesn't see it. How is that with RH 7.1?? Doe sit see ATAPI devices??? Help!!! (As the installation doesn't allow me to install directly from CDrom, I'm now copying the BASE and RPMS directories to my Libby HD, that is still in the process (wow, lots of data!!!), so lets see it I can fire up LINUS that way. Would be great to hear your inputs/comments Cheers Robbert > -Original Message- > From: Michael Miller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Sunday, August 05, 2001 18:31 > To: Libretto > Subject: Re: Linux Install? > > > Date: Sun, 5 Aug 2001 12:18:50 -0400 (EDT) > From: Michael Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: Linux Install? > > On Sun, 5 Aug 2001, Karen L.
