Laptop upgrade

jimf43
Ok, I've just about decided to upgrade my Compaq Pisario 1500 laptop to Linux. It's an ideal candidate for this. P4 2. 4, 512MB, 30GB HD, 15Lcd. Deserves better than XP. I booted it on the Mepis live CD to check hardware compatibility and most everything works.

RedHat9.0 add aplications ( interesting glitch )

Mel
When adding apps in RH9 ,each time a disk was requested add apps gave the message error loading package and exited. This was no real problem for me but may be for someone. My solution was to simply leave the selected disk in the drive and restart Add Apps.

Loader problem

kosonenv
I updated Red Hat 9. 0 to Fedora Core 1 and select the choice to update from LILO to GRUB. Unfortunately I forgot that RH 9 booted from floppy and files in FC boot don't fit into a floppy. Now in the boot machine seems to want to use LILO, because first in black screen comes only text LI and then it hangs.

OK, I know that this is a Windows app. But, my step-father just sent me his PC profile with this tool that allowed me to quickly find upgraded ram and a second hard drive that matches his system. This utility gives all his system specs.

New User Installs

jimf43
I've been seeing a lot of posts in which new users are trying to install the latest and greatest Distros on their 'vintage' PC. Typically a 166-300 pentium or pentium II, with 128-256MB of Ram and a 1-2GB HD, and some 'unknown' video card.

partitioning

homsarjogger
Heres my story. I want to install Linux Mandrake 9. 2 onto my computer, currently running XP Home. The hard drive is 37. 7 GB, and 80% is free. When I start the installation off of the first CD, i get to the part that you partition your hard drive.

Having serious RPM problems with Fedora.

Dapper Dan
All of a sudden RPM is not working correctly. This of course, is also causing big problems with apt-get and yum. Neither will work correctly since both are RPM based. This problem never occured in Red Hat 8 or 9.
