User Feedback :: Another Linux newbie on another Dino

Hay,
I succeeded in running dsl on my dino. But I did it in another way: took a small disk from the dino and ran it in a pc with a more recent cd drive, made a HD install en moved the disk again, de-connected the other drive there & booted, right into dsl.
The problem I now have is to make my serial mouse workin'.
I will put my results in this thread:
pvdvyve-dino & dsl

Have fun...

DD.22mar2004: just to find out: copied the knoppix dir right under c and booted with diskette--->yes indeed, DSL finds the image and starts up from /dev/hda1
It works... faster than from cd.
Just as cbagger01 said.
bye

Hi,

After doing a poor man's install by temporarily connecting the HD to my main PC and also adding a swap space, DSL still would not boot fully (although I nearly got there)....
Then I found an old 486 litterally on the street ( with the neighbour's garbage ???) and took it home.... It had an astounding 32 MB....So I transferred 16 MB and had DSL flying in no time.....

Note for future Dino riders :  8 MB appears to be insufficient for DSL  !!!
(including X-windows, of course)

Of course I will now try to get two Dino's running on DSL   :-)

Hasta la Banana

Well done Monk

Pvdvyve: The usual fix for serial mice is

rm-f /dev/mouse
ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/mouse

(thats assuming mouse is on com port 1)
