That way people wouldn't accidentally unsubscribe themselves and not be notified (especially new users in the future that will never read this thread). (Note: I haven't unsubscribed in a long time, so I don't remember if there already is an autoresponse for this.) And/or you could put a line in the standard footer clearly indicating that "unsubscribe" anywhere in the subject will result in an unsubscribe.

Is there a cylinder limit past which it will not look for the copied files? My D: partition (where I've copied the CD files) follows a ~4GB C: partition. Could that be it? Also, what directory do I need to point to in the "Select Parition" box? I've tried "RedHat/", "" (no path specified), "RedHat/base/", and "RedHat/RPMS/". I've also tried all these without the trailing slash. Still it says either ""Device /dev/hda5 does not appear to contain Red Hat CDROM images." and if I type a directory name wrong, I get "Failed to read directory /tmp/hdimage/: No such file or directory".

Win98 vs Win95 on an L50
Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2000 09:39:47 -0400 From: "Eiren K. Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Win98 vs Win95 on an L50 I have an admittedly nebulous problem. My L50 has 32MB of RAM, is overclocked to 100MHz, and has a new 6GB Toshiba drive. I used to run Win95 on it with DriveSpace compression on my 810MB original drive. When I upgraded my hard drive, I decided to move to Win98 (with a FAT32). The machine now feels significantly slower than ever. I expected Win98 to run slower than Win95, but it is so much slower that I wonder if there's something else wrong. The machine actually feels slower than it did with Win95's DriveSpace running heavily all the time (resulting in major disk access). At first, I handled a driver problem with the Libretto floppy drive. That handled a HUGE slow waiting for it to sense the floppy drive (which would inevitably fail anyway). However, it still doesn't feel "right". Now, many times I'll press a button in a dialog box and I'll have to wait for sometimes more than ten seconds to even see the button be pressed. During this wait, the hard drive is seldom, if ever, being accessed. It's not like with Win95 and my old 810MB hard drive (with or without DriveSpace), where the disk would be accessed furiously if the machine was making me wait. I'm hoping someone else has run into this and that there a there's a solution. I could, of course, go back to Win95 with this new hard drive to see if it's a perculiar problem with the new hard drive, but I'd rather not have to do this.

Installing a new hard drive in L50
Date: Thu, 15 Jun 2000 17:09:32 -0400 From: "Eiren K. Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Installing a new hard drive in L50 Libretters, I am going to be installing a new (empty) 6GB in my L50 tonight. I have Win95 on floppies and on a CD. I need help/advice regarding the best method to get Win95 onto that new drive. I would like to avoid using the floppies. Since I bought it used, I don't have any of the original CD(s) or floppy(ies) that would have come with my Libretto. Assets: I have an Adaptec PCMCIA SCSI card and an external SCSI CD-ROM drive. I also have an Enhanced Port Replicator. I have another laptop with a CD-ROM drive that may be part of my solution. I can get my hands on null modem adapters and serial cradles, if necessary. I don't know anything about enabling PCMCIA services in DOS (to gain access to my CD). Am I better off installing from floppies than trying to get my machine to recognize my CD-ROM drive via my PCMCIA SCSI card? Can anyone give me some data on this? How would you folks get Win95 installed, given the assets I have listed above? The floodgates are open to suggestions.
