Carlton, Since you're installing Mandrake and your machine only has 700MB of total space you won't have sufficient space for a dual boot machine. In fact, you may find it a bit tight squeezing Mandrake on there. However, a workstation install should fit. To install with an older CDROM shouldn't be too hard. If you've got an Micro$oft CDROM setup disk lying around that will work wonderfully. If you don't just email me and I'll zip you one up and send it to you. That will allow you to boot your machine with the floppy and hopefuly load the CDROM drivers to get the whole process started. If that doesn't work you make have to make a boot floppy with the CDROM boot.img and try booting with that. Those iamges should be on the Mandrake installation CD's. -- Mark /* I never worry about the to-jams. * Once I've stuck my foot in my mouth * it's already too late...just make sure * you chew them thoroughly before swallowing! */ Registered Linux user #182496 * Pine 4.21 * On Tue, 10 Oct 2000 7:54pm ,Carlton Dodd spake passionately in a message: (Second sending, Hoping to catch someone's attention who's done this) Anyone have any work-arounds to install LM 7.0 on a laptop? I have an old Texas Instruments P75 laptop with 40MB RAM and a 700MB HDD. I have two questions: 1. Is this laptop sufficient for running Linux? With a GUI? I will devote the system completely to Linux if I need to, but I'd love to be able to run a dual-boot if there's enough space so I can learn that as well. 2. How do I actually install from the CD? Unfortunately, I cannot simply boot from the CD like you can on newer machines. The install instructions say to just make a boot floppy and then install from the CD, but my laptop only allows me to install one drive (CD or Floppy) at a time. And I have to shut off the machine in between. Can I make a floppy that will install enough so I can shut down, swap to the CD drive, and go from there?

Renaud, To tell you the truth it will run slow as molasses on Neptune with 128MB of RAM. And that was on a 500Mhz processor. It's really cool software for what it's doing, but IMHO it's not a mission critical solution. I don't even use it at home anymore. I tried it for a week and the slow performance drove me nuts. -- Mark /*I never worry about the to-jams. *Once I've stuck my foot in my mouth *it's already too late...just make sure *you chew them thoroughly before swallowing! */ Registered Linux user #182496 * Pine 4.21 * On Mon, 23 Oct 2000 8:26pm ,Renaud OLGIATI spake passionately in a message: Or will it run only just, slow as molasses in Winter, and I should get 128M if I want to be able to use it ?

Hi all, newbie here :) I recently got Mandrake 7.1 free with a magazine on a bootable CD. However, at some point during installation (it varies when) I get the error "Segmentation Fault: It appears that memory is missing as installation crashes", I then have to reboot. Any ideas as to what this is? Best Regards, -Jerome Everall [EMAIL PROTECTED] . This e-mail including any attachments is confidential and may be legally privileged.

RE: [newbie] Graphical User Interfaces for X
Thanks for your help. However every time I use the command StartX it goes into a pretty GUI. Is this the KDE? However If I then go to Configuration menu and select Switch Desktop - Gnome I get a desktop in blue with basic windows called something like NTVDM. I cant get rid of it from within the desktop. However I have found that if I exit out and then type SartX KDE or StartX Gnome all is well. The next problem I have is when I do type StartX Kde or StartX Gnome the desktops are identical and have a little penguin icon on the bottom left corner. All help appreciated Anoop -Original Message- From: Mark Weaver [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 04 October 2000 11:30 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Re: [newbie] Graphical User Interfaces for X It sounds like you're going to have to reconfigure your display again. From what you're describing it's not properly configured which is why you're being presented with that strange screen. Actually you will want to configure X so that you're presented with a GUI login screen. This will give you a much broader selection of window managers when you log in to your system. You can reconfigure X by typing "setuptool" on the command line after you've logged in as root. -- Mark /* I never worry about the to-jams. * Once I've stuck my foot in my mouth * it's already too late...just make sure * you chew them thoroughly before swallowing! */ Registered Linux user #182496 * Pine 4.21 * On Wed, 4 Oct 2000 10:53am ,Sharma, Anoop spake passionately in a message: Hello All I am completly new to Linux and just managed to install Mandrake 7.1 on my home PC dual booting with NT.
