LINUX boot+copy files between PC-card slots
Date: Tue, 03 Oct 2000 13:40:32 GMT From: "Fubar Libretto" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: LINUX boot+copy files between PC-card slots Re my 'quest' to copy files between PC-card slots, from a CF1 flash memory card (in a PC-card adapter) to an Iomega 'Clik' disk... I just found the following Clik/Linux page: http://paulbristow.net/linux/clik.html which even includes a paragraph: Toshiba Libretto 100/110 CT The drive only works in slot 0, the bottom PCMCIA slot. I guess this is something to do with the Cardbus stuff in slot 1. Kinda looks promising, though I have no Linux experience whatsoever so right now it's all way over my head. So, before pursuing this further, my question is - can anyone advise the feasability of booting Linux from a floppy, and then being able to copy between PC-cards... obviously I can use more than one floppy disk (I could even use another CF card or Clik drive, if it would help), but I *can't* use the built-in Libretto hard drive... _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
