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.
Add option graphical to install. I don't recommend it, though, as you
don't have much memory.
Problem with the character mode install is no LVM partition management
functions. I need to alter the default partitioning.
You can create the LVM partitions in the Centos4 install, or manually in
the console in tty2, if you're confortable with that.
You should then be able to use them in the text mode installer.
Are you saying that I should use the Centos 4.4 install, create the
partitions, abort that install, go to Centos 5 and tell it to use
existing partitions?
Of course getting through a text install, I will still have to get X and
Gnome working...
