I have installed Slackware 3.6 on my bosses Libretto 50CT. It works beautifully, though the installation was quite difficult as you can have a floppy or a NIC. This lead to some really interesting loadlin commands, basically I needed to make a fat partition on the hard disk and put vmlinuz and the rootfile there. Then I used loadlin to load the ramdisk (initrd), set the root to/dev/ram0, then booted the kernel with the NIC in.
Unfortunately the only public NFS server w/ slackware we could find was in China so it took about a week to install. But it works great, and having a portable UNIX is just cool. -- Charles P. Wright cpwright@villagenet.com http://cpwright.villagenet.com/
