DSL runs on Compaq LTE5300Forum: Laptops Topic: DSL runs on Compaq LTE5300 started by: pminmo Posted by pminmo on Nov. 16 2006,22:56
I have an old Compaq LTE5300. 133Pentium, 1.2G drive, cd drive that is swappable with a floppy drive. After some hassle with getting a boot manager that can boot a cd (laptop to old for cd boot in bios) I'm able to boot and run DSL. So far everything I've tried seems to work. I'd like to install DSL on the HD but so far haven't been able to get a partion setup for it. My Gparted live cd doesn't recognize the mouse, but DSL does. Gparted runs, and I can fumble around it some with function keys, but unable to figure out how to add a partion from the function keys. I'd like to be able to run some other lite Linux's also, but nothing else recognizes the mouse either. The laptop has a cardbus Dlink DWL-650 wireless card, that I would like to get running also.Phil |
