DSL Tips and Tricks :: DSC-II or Damn Small Capio II

I'm game sent you a PM, let us know how to buy it.

Well, overseas (rather Overoceans) I only take paypal.
EU citizens can pay using IBAN/BIC code.

I can program now about six of them and send them out around end of this week. So, any others, contact me privately.

I _love_ using older good hardware for new purposes. One of the reasons I deal in HP 200LX's as well ( shameless plug - see http://www.200lx.net for my other hobby ). And the Capio II is just the right size for a totally silent linux box: Standard ne network port, memory to (I think) 256MB (I swapped my 32MB for a 128MB sodimm).

MAINS WARNING

Oh yes,

Internally the thing is open to the mains power!! So UNPLUG the mains before you work inside!! Neither fry the CII nor yourself!!

( The advantage is, of course, no Brick attached, everything into one neat package. )

The following commands need to go into a file for booting DSL from DOS ( for example options.txt):

linux24
initrd=minirt24.gz
root=/dev/ram
ramdisk_size=100000
init=/etc/init
apm=power-off
nomce
noapic
dsl
rw
vga=791
lang=us
quiet
dma
xmodule=fbdev
BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix


Then you need a directory with loadlin.exe, linux24 and minirt24.gz

Starting DSL (or Knoppix) is then  
> loadlin @options.txt

the KNOPPIX directory has to be in the root of the USB key.

Thanks Michel!!
