Apparently not for M6.1 :( Of course, now it's installed, it turns out that my reference 'QT in 24Hrs' doesn't quite work with 2.2.2 - it wants 2.0...and even the 'hello world' demo doesn't work :( Neil _ Get more from the Web.

Five hours to compile QT2.2.2 from source... why? there is a binary package. -- The falsely dramatic drives out the truly dull. ** 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: Mon, 11 Dec 2000 10:50:02 From: "neil barnes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: linux redhat 7 on a Libretto 50CT Christan, I'm trying to upgrade from M6.1 to M7.1 using a hard disk image. This is a non-trivial task :( as it assumes you're using a floppy to boot from. My next attempt will be to use a floppy image to start with but when I'm doing it, I'm at home and the floppy is at work :) I don't have a CD drive for the lib. Also, the windows M7.1 install also crashes. Interestingly, the M7.1 install uses an 800*600 graphics mode which doesn't fit on the ct50 screen. I'll try again soon...the help files indicate that the floppy offers a text install which I'd *guess* will use less memory. btw - can I claim a record? Five hours to compile QT2.2.2 from source...
