I bought VMware Express a while ago, but it's of no use, the software would need to have access to the CMOS/BIOS.

Re: [vox-tech] How slim can Win98 go?
Well, I am not sure If I want to part with it, but I could let you borrow it for awhile. It is actually a 8.45mm drive instead of the 12mm or 19mm thickness that some older laptops had. I did see 2GB ($39.99) and 4GB ($49.99) laptop drives on weekly special at halted.com Ryan wrote: I have a lot of junk. I have about 1.8 gigs of free space. The drive would be great, thanks. Will you need it back (I'm fine either way)? ___ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech

Re: [vox-tech] How slim can Win98 go?
I've installed a pretty comfortably bare Windows95 that took up about 350MB. Looking at my current Windows98 partition (another comfortably bare installation), it looks like just the Windows part is taking up about 500MB; but this partition's been around for several months so I'm sure there's lots of junk in c:\windows and the registry. -Mark On Thu, 28 Feb 2002, Ryan wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I was poking around the net looking for a way to set my laptop's contrast, and I found http://www.informatik.uni-kiel.de/~fst/linux_armada_e500.html .

Re: [vox-tech] How slim can Win98 go?
You could also get a laptop HD from someone. Or an old laptop. Just use the HD, then switch it back when you're done. You don't even need to buy it, just borrow it, if you can find someone with an old laptop laying around. Also, many BIOS configuration utilities work under DOS, so you don't necessarily need Windows, but just the DOS (fits on a floppy...) That depends on the utility, though, I suppose. -Mark On Thu, 28 Feb 2002, Ryan wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 hrm, oh, idea!

Support in Linux is fairly recent. The recent Sony VAIO laptops have moved much of their functionality over to ACPI. ACPI is going to allow for some really cool stuff, not just on laptops.
