Hello
I have a problem with my cfdisk...and things in general :|
Well, first of all, I am trying to install DSL on a 4.5 year-old laptop...Pentium III, 700MHz, 64 RAM ...
And anyway...I can boot into DSL from the CD no problem, but if I stop doing something (typing, moving mouse around, etc) DSL freezes :\
But here's the big problem - I can't run cfdisk for some reason. When I try to execute "cfdisk" it gives me the following error:
FATAL ERROR: Cannot open disk drive
Press any key to exit cfdisk

does anyone know how I can fix that? :(
thanx!

Explain the process up until the system freezes.

i figured out the problem. it was the laptop's suspend-to-hard-drive setting. if I dispable suspension than everything works fine, otherwise it just hangs, and doesn't resume at all for some weird reason :S
