Linux on a Presario 5000?
"trimicada" wrote in
om: Has anyone put Linux on a 5WV254 Presario? I am putting together a new system as my primary, so thought I'd use the Presario to try to learn a bit about Linux. Any hints or tips? Thanks. It didn't work for me. Mine's a 5BW220. I tried Peanut Linux and it couldn't install the onboard Intel 82810 graphics card. I tried everything. Someone suggested I try Mandrake, but I haven't. I could run it as a command line interpreter, but couldn't do anything graphical. Typing "startx" sent it into a black screen of death. Oddly enough, the Actiontec Winmodem I have is one of the very few that Linux does have drivers for. I wish I could have gotten that far. |
