[newbie] LM 8.0 on my HP laptop N3215

Well, I kicked out WindowsME from my little laptop and tried installing LM 8.0. Shockingly, the install worked the first time with proper display. I created my two accounts (root and user) I set up my audio properly and got the introduction music play smoothly. This is the first Linux distro

Hi, the early Cyrix processors generated lots of heat. When I went through my Socket 7 CPU upgrades, the largest heatsink/cooler I'd ever bought was for my Cyrix P166+ (133MHz). The system simply kept hanging with my other more normal-sized coolers. So cooling might be the issue here. Hope

To those of us that love xcdroast (0.98 alpha 8), and can't run it under LM 8.0: at www.xcdroast.org there is a work around: 1. just type: chmod -s /usr/bin/xcdrgtk and 2. install cdrecord 1.9. That's all. For me, works fine. Carlos
