HD Install :: DSL on an old Toshiba Libretto

Really? That's great, I'll probably do that then.

One last question. When DSL installs, does it format the drive (like Windows)? I'd like it to do that since I don't want anything left of Windows on the Libretto.

Thanks a lot

I installed DSL on the HD in another box and swapped it. I can't remember exactly how I did it (did I manually delete and recreate filesystems or was it part of the install) but it is dedicated to DSL now.

One thing I will say is I can get textmode up perfectly (vga=807 - 800x480 fb mode) but I haven't had any luck with X - the screen colours get disrupted (to green) and it persists after you kill the X server. I've only tried this with the Xvesa stuff so far.

Other than that, perfectly good install, wireless card up with a little config. Thumbpad works like a dream. If you know how to fix X, feel free to make my day...
