[LIB] Experiences trying to get Linux onto this @!#@#$@#$@#$# thing!
Date: Sun, 10 Feb 2002 16:55:22 +0800 From: Raymond [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Experiences trying to get Linux onto this @!#@#$@#$@#$# thing! Hi all! OK again for your amusement and bemusement here are some things I noticed whilst trying to get Red Hat Linux 6.2 working on my L50 with a 20 gig hard drive. If anyone wants to comment, correct or shed additional light on any of these, please do! (oh and ya I know there are other linux distros, I chose RH6.2 for compatibility with work so THAT argument is no longer valid ;-). 1: Forget what anyone else says, go get yourself a HDD converter and put the hard drive into a big computer. If anything it'll mean Linux installs in 10 minutes and not 2 hours. Make sure KUDZU loads when you first reboot after the hard drive is put into the libby and make sure you enable the SVGA X server. 2: Install EZ-Bios (I'm using 9.09W) and whatever you do DO NOT LET YOUR COMPUTER BOOT OFF THE FLOPPY DISKETTE! If you spend half the time booting off floppy diskette (ie. EZ-Bios doesn't load) and half the time booting off the hard drive (so EZ-Bios loads) you end up with 1.5 copies of the partition table (as in you end up with some programs such as Partition Magic seeing one version of your partition table, programs such as Linux FDISK seeing a totally different version and some programs such as NT Disk Admin or Norton Ghost not being able to make their minds up and deciding the entire thing is corrupt). Of course, if you need to boot off the floppy diskette, hold down CTRL so EZ-Bios still loads then tell it to use A: to get the boot stuff. 3: Watch PowerQuest Partition Magic 6 (and PowerQuest DriveImage for that matter) like a hawk and preferrably stick to DOS and Linux FDISK ... for some silly reason, when I created 3 primaries (a FAT16, an EXT2 and a Linux Swap in that order), Linux reconed the FAT16 was HDA1, the Linux Swap was HDA2 and the EXT2 was HDA3! ... when I removed everything and did the same thing under Linux FDISK, Partition Magic saw no difference but the partition scheme according to Linux was now the right way round. Plus Partition Magic seems to contribute to problem 2 above anyway. 4: On the subject of partitioning, if you have EZ-Bios, WHATEVER YOU DO, let EZ-Bios create all those FAT16 partitions for you. Then, when you next boot, let EZ-Bios load then press CTRL and boot off a DOS floppy with FDISK. Delete all the partitions EXCEPT THE FIRST. NEVER DELETE THE FIRST, for some reason EZ-Bios puts some special stuff there. You can ghost over it, you can install Windows or Linux over it but don't delete it. Also, for some reason if you remove it then use Linux FDISK, EZ-Bios gets all confused. The advice that the fdisk MAN page gives is perhaps wise ... use DOS FDISK to create the DOS FAT16 and FAT32 partitions and use Linux fdisk (or cfdisk once you're installed) to do the Linux partitions. I ended up doing things in this order. i. Installed EZ-Bios (after nuking the drive, FDISKING it as a full drive, doing a full format then nuking it again). Chose to create a million and one FAT16 partitions. ii. Rebooted, went back into EZ-Bios setup and enabled EZ-Bios. For some reason, if you install EZ-Bios and it detects that your computer can handle the large hard drive, it doesn't fully install (remember, I have the hard drive in my desktop to do this) but we want EZ-Bios loaded because the HDD will move to the laptop and if you start partitioning without EZ-Bios loaded things screw up. iii. Rebooted, held down CTRL, put in a DOS boot disk with FDISK and Ghost, pressed A to boot off the FDD then used FDISK to remove all partitions (including the extended partition) except for the first primary partition. iv. Rebooted same way but this time loaded Ghost to restore Win95 to the first primary partition (WITHOUT deleting it first). v. Rebooted same way but this time with a Linux Install boot disk. Started the Linux install process and put the RH6.2 CD in. vi. Did a custom install and chose to use FDISK because Disk Druid doesn't let you say what you want as primary and what you want as extended. Created a 2 gig primary for / and a 100 meg primary for swap. Didn't create any extended partitions. vii. Finished the install as normal but told the install to write Lilo to /dev/hda2 and not the MBR. Created a boot diskette so I could actually boot Linux before I did the NTLDR thing (see below). Rebooted with the ctrl thing then put that boot diskette in just to make sure the install was fine. Especially I looked to make sure the Linux boot process could see that I was using EZ-Bios (just after it detects the hard drives it does a partition check, if it detects EZ-Bios it'll show hda: [EZD] [remap 0-1] [2432/255/63] hda1 hda2 ) viii. Shut down, rebooted, did the CTRL thing, booted with the DOS boot disk again then used FDISK to create the extended partition then all the virtual drives. I left space

[LIB] Newbie needs help please!
Date: Sun, 10 Feb 2002 19:15:23 + From: T i m [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Newbie needs help please! Hi Librettoizers / Librettoists .. ? ;-) I enjoy motorcycle / camping in the UK (so far) and to help me around I use a Garmin GPS III+ (Global Positioning System .. satellites and stuff). To program a journey path (a 'route' in GPS terms) I currently use a Garmin program called MapSource. This runs on any W95/98/NT4, 16M Ram, Min 20M HD space and 256 colour display style PC and connects to the GPS unit via a std Serial port. It doesn't need 'speed' as such but when you scroll / re-size a map it has to do quite a bit of work. Also, you can download higher detail maps from the PC to the GPS if needed but the GPS will only hold a small(ish) area as it only has 1.4M of internal memory? Now, when we head off we normally know where our first destination is so we can plot the route on our home PC and all is fine. The problem starts when we want to go from the first campsite to the second and so on. It might be outside the fine detail map area and plotting a route on the GPS itself is quite awkward. Garmin now do a GPS V (version 5) but I'm quite happy with my III+ if I could find a portable 'real' PC to interface with it? Enter the Libretto ! ;-) So, I'm looking for a supplier of one in the UK, but would like some advice / guidance re: 1) What model would be most suitable (and why .. eg any Models to avoid?) 2) Where would be the best place to buy one? (I have browsed the auctions on eBay, Yahoo, QXL etc but the prices / options vary wildly) 3) What sort of money should I be expected to pay and what accessories are 'essential' . I have been playing with hardware / electronics and std PC's for years but have little experience with laptops (I do have a T2150CDS if that counts!) so I need your help (please). Anyone got something that would suit they are looking to sell? All the best and thanks for your time in any case .. T i m (in Nth London) p.s. Will the 'accessories' (docking stations / batteries etc) for say the 50CT also fit the 100CT ... ? ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

[LIB] Red Hat Linux on the L50
Date: Sun, 10 Feb 2002 23:20:50 +0800 From: Raymond [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Red Hat Linux on the L50 OK I know this has been covered before but for some reason, I can't find any ACTIVE servers from which I can download the patch to activate the floppy diskette drive ... I've got the PCMCIA slots 'working' now (insomuch as they can detect whats plugged into them) but the fdd keeps giving me 'unrecognised block device' errors. The links I can find on the net all seem to point to ftp://ftp.rp.csiro.au/pub/people/dbateman/flash/ or http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/kernel/pcmcia/contrib/ , both of which seem to be dead. Anyone know of any other place where I can grab it from? I'm running Red Hat 6.2, kernel 2.2.14-5.0. Also, I'm probably looking in the wrong places but I'm having one hellava time trying to figure out how to get Linux to detect my PCMCIA network card (a Bromax iPort 10/100 NIC, NE2000 compatible) and how to configure it appropriately for networking. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've only ever set up networking/NICs at install time but I installed this HDD in another box (Kudzu was kind enough to remove all the stuff that my other box had but the libby doesn't but it doesn't seem to want to install any of the new stuff). On the flip side, it turns out X configuration and getting sound working were heaps easier than I thought ... Xconfigurator seems to work like a charm for once! - Raymond --- /~\ | | Does fuzzy logic tickle?| | ___ | My HDD has no reverse.
