You can install base from floppy, too- if you need to. I never have for a laptop

using loadlin to boot linux.
The SEcodn part is AFAIK, still unsolved, though there is still hope
that IBM will come out and give us the info to build drivers for both devices.
Current uptime for my Thinkpad: 12 days, 15hours, 03 minutes. :)

Scuse the newbie q:
I've got some filesystems I'd like to move:
/on/dev/hda2 --> /dev/hdb2
swap on /dev/hda1 --> /dev/hdb1
/usr on /dev/hdb2 --> /dev/sda1
And I'm trying to figure out, in detail, exactly what to do.
Any sugg
ave trouble, as k on the laptop list or #debian.
(Also- Debian is the best, IMO, distro for installing on small partitions-
which can be a concern in laptops.)

fstab or mtab which appears to have anything at all to do
with the cdrom, or the scsi hard drive I want to use for backing up files.
(I haven't modified these files.)
Why is this?

ormance, on ebay at
least.
The seller for me is the engineering of the Docking station- having the
capability to put a
complete scsi based desktop together (I have a scsi cdrom, 5430 meg scsi drive,
pcmcia
modem, keyboard, trackbal and old cast off crystal scan monitor- grand total
$120) .

Step Three is software. But I'm not even close to that point yet.

Wait a minute: wvdial finds the modem as ttyS2, but the boot process finds only
ttyS1 with a
16550A UART
Now, I did go through and setup serial support in this install (i
ould make this a
mountable device?
Check- I should take this las tline out of my inittab, yes?
Thnx,
Koyote
I'm showing this periodically, and I haven't a clue what it is:
INIT: id "S" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
Anyone know what this is?

Okay-
Is there support for mwave cards on the thinkpad laptops (755CE in my case)?
Where, how, who?
And- how do I tell my laptop that it now has a docking station, with scsi
devices, to play
with?
Koyote
are you sure you've got the pcmcia and cdrom
configured right?
(I'm using defaults with no problems)
It does say that the tray is open and the media has changed all the time at
boot up and when I
first run deselect, but it works fine...
Oh- slink, images from March.
Koyote
to perform the install, I
> type "linux floppy=thinkpad" at the "boot:" prompt.
I am running on an older 755CE thinkpad and with the current safe.bin disk- I
did not have
to do that...
Also- do you need that much swap? Hell, if I had that much hard diak, I'd make
a big swap,
too- but is it needed?
Koyote
Hey, all.
Anyone have any specifics to share about installing slink on a thinkpad 755ce?
(dx4/100, 16 meg RAM, 540 hdd, mwave, pcmcia us robotics (dell xj4336) modem,
1.44
floppy, no cd- can borrow one if I can't do disk install and get pppd running)
Tia,
Koyote
I'm rebuilding a 486/33 to be our internet server (when I get that
far...)
The cmos setup isn't handling the hdd (1 gig), nor the cdrom- I've
heard that Linux bypasses the system setup, or it can use devices in
spite of it. How much of this is true?
TIA
Koyote
rc will have to wait until I find a working external scsi
floppy. But then I'll be at it again.
Thanks again!
Koyote
Oh, never mind. I worked around it. You might want to fix your
pointers to:
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/install.en.html
If it's not just a windows bug.
Thanks,
Koyote
doesn't work, either. I can,
however, from the same page browse the SPARC (which I'll be needing to
use as soon as I come up with a working scsi floppy), Motorola, and
Apha install guides.
Hope that helps,

I've found that it is pretty easy under Gnome- though half of gnome is
still buggy, I haven't had much trouble with basic window

scratch, and I nop longer have the debian distro.
So, I need to download and install from the windows disk (Windows
doesn't see my linux disk). Of course, to do this, I need the install
guide
Is there a problem with the server? Could I get it via email?
Thanks,
Koyote
>Hmm, Seems I can not download the installation guide for slink.
Seems I can browse through the sparc and alpha guides- it's just the
i386 one I can't get to.

course, is

That's probably NT4, not win 98. and the Alpha may be just so much
faster than that poor old 386. Think of what would happen were Linux
running on a PII 266 instead of a 386/33!

Thanks!

t sure
what to put into it, or what order.
(Other sysinfo: kernel 2.2.something, ppp 2.3.5, I think. My modem is
a very standard internal, which I can dial out with- the problem isn't
there. 16550A UART chip, 28.8 kbps.)

to os.)
But- that is the best answer, IMO. Snag a second hand obsolete
computer and start setting up Linux. You'll get all the help you need
through people's web pages and this list.

, I just come in and boot a floppy
that deletes it before loading your system. Sort of.
It's been a few years, and I probably coudn't this stuff without
some serious catching up, but all of the above used to be quite
doable.
