I also have a 755CD that I run Linux on. I wrestled with this problem a (very short) while before I settled on the less elegant method of copying the base and kernel Slackware disk sets to a dos partition and doing the inital install from there. After I had a minimal Linux installation going, I was able to load the rest of the system off the CD. If you want to try a full install by swapping the drives, I believe you'll need a kernel with ATAPI/IDE CD-ROM and APM support compiled in. I really don't know if such a boot image exists. Hope this helps a little. > > FROM: Ulf Greifzu > IBM Berlin, Germany > =================== > Subject: LINUX setup on TP755CD > Hi folks, > > does anybody out there know which disk images to use (boot/root) > when I want to get the interchangeable CD-ROM drive of the 755CD > to work with Linux (means which ones to install ;-)? > > Any hints would be highly appreciated. > > Thanks and Regards > > Ulf > > Mit freundlichen Gr}~en / Best Regards Ulf Greifzu > =============================================================== > >> internet: greifzu9vnet.ibm.com or deibmrvw9ibmmail.com << > >> VNET: BLNVM01(GREIFZU) extern: IBMMAIL(DEIBMRVW) << > -- Bob Zimbinski bobz@skypoint.com Robert.Zimbinski@cdc.com
