I don't think he'll be able to cram another NIC in there :) <http://images.google.com/images?q=toshiba+libretto+50ct> But it should certainly be possible to get Debian installed, and even to have a GUI of sorts. Certainly one should forget about Knoppix or anything else that insist on installing a recent version of KDE or Gnome. But with Debian you can just do apt-get install x-window-system after installing just a basic system and you get the bare minimum (X plus twm). Here are two links about installing an older version of RedHat. Maybe of some use. <http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/toshiba.html> -- Met vriendelijke groeten / kind regards, Olav -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
