Linux Deathmarch Part 4 |
1/4/02
Yeah, and here's a poser: I blithely assumed I was just going to have to use ftp to get the other disk series but of course I have to manually configure the modem to dial the ISP, hand over the password and establish a connection before I even get started and how in the name of Torvalds am I supposed to do that??? For closure, you can read 'Ownage' which is a sort of epilogue to this series and details my final more-or-less successful installation of Slackware version 3 on the little Tosh. |
Hmmm...I
hit a brick wall almost straight away. The 'n' series didn't load
properly and refused to boot so I had to start again, which I did
several weeks later (after the wedding and a storm of TMA deadlines
had been and gone), using a menu driven installation to avoid the
disk 'n8', which, contrary to the readme file, is not small
enough to fit on a disk. It still didn't like it much, but is at
least booting now. The damage to the disk seems to have come back
to haunt me, but I don't know how bad this problem will turn out
to be. Gulp.
