Objet : [Freedos-user] FD13 on old laptops
Allow me some advice to install fd13 -legacy or live - on old laptops.On my old
Toshiba satellite about 15 years old, fd13 is fine.However, if your laptop is
old it's possible that the battery is also old,although obviously charging with
the ac-adapter without interruption; and if you choose the complete
installation - around 600M - it is likely that during the installation the
system will shut down.For this it would be advisable to install the base first
and only after the extras you want.All of this happened to me - with old
laptops and old batteries- even with linux, and the only linux distro I could
successfully install is slacko/puppy of only 213M.Installing a system over 500M
puts too much stress on an old battery, altough in charge.In my opinion it's as
if you are traveling with an old car and an old battery. You can go, but if you
turn on the headlights, radio, wiper and the air conditioner it is likely that
the alternator is not able to supply the battery with the amperes to
continue. The beauty of fd13 is that you can install it step by step and
make your own fdos system avoiding crashes!! regards andrea
