Hello again.
Working to put Centos 5 on my old Toshiba Portege 3490ct (256Mb memory).
PCMCIA CDrom and Lan card.
Using 'linux askmethod' to be able to install off of my FTP server (have
done 4 PC installs so far off that server successfully)
It's video card is:
S3 86C270-294 Savage IX/MV
After recognizing the video card I get the message about no graphical
install available. Putting on and external monitor does not change this.
Problem with the character mode install is no LVM partition management
functions. I need to alter the default partitioning.
This IS an older notebook. It does have Centos 4.4 on it right now.
How would I use the ftp install and specify 'acpi=no' (perhaps the old
bios???).
Or I could build a partial kickstart file on a diskette (add the USB
diskette drive) to do the partitioning and then switch to package
selection (and maybe even in graphical mode)?
Some guidance here would be great.
