HD Install :: Frugal Explanation

Thank's KE4NT.

I get that error every single time no matter what. There must be a way to fix it. I just saw your post concerning sound on a TP. I have that issue now on a 600e that I am using. I had the same on slackware. TP's are bears with sound and linux. Slack was a pretty involved fix. Yours looks simpler.

I have a couple of thinkpads, and have no issues with them at all.
My 240's and 770's require some input from me to setup,
but no troubles once I add those commands to /opt/bootlocal.sh,
and make a fresh backup..

I did have to run "rmmod sound" to UNLOAD the attempt at boottime
to install the soundcard, and to free up the soundcard,
so the modprobe commands would take.

Search the forums for ' cs4232 ' .
I have many posts discussing successful sound usage in DSL with thinkpads.
It's usually a matter of getting the right io and irq addresses in the syntax,
and unloading any older attempts to load sound.o and soundcore.o at boot.

Frequently, I find that uart, or opl3, or ad1868 need to be loaded first
on many different brands of laptops..

Bump. Good thread. More need to read it.

I've been reading this thread & will be experimenting with a frugal install, & was wondering where to find the how-to pdf that has been referred to here? I'm on an old hp paviion with 32 MB ram(rescued from the trashman!!) thanks everyone for all the info.

Here is a pdf that clivesay put together that is really good.
