  1. I have installed Mandriva 2008.1 (with the simple graphic interphace) using the mini CD, and until now I am occuping about 1.4 GB, so at the moment I still don't need to install the packages elsewhere. However, I cannot figure out how to see the videos. I loaded vlc realplayer and mediaplayer, but when I open the avi files (both in the bbc website and in my computer) I can heard the sound but I see a blue screen. I need some codec? I though I did not for Vlc. Can somebody imagine the reason?
  2. Thank you, but I did'nt found the Linux version, it's only for Windows
  3. Dear Stef, I have a 4 GB CF in the PCMCIA adapter, but unfortunately in the BIOS there is no option to boot form PCMCIA. Do you think I can install the root system in the 2 GB SSD and some program on the PCMCIA? How to do it? :mellow:
  4. Thanks for this suggestion, I am downloading the mini-dual CD now
  5. Dear Stef, thank you for your reply. Your installation is encouraging, but I would like to use ~ 1.5 MB for the operating system, ~200 MB as swap partition, ~300 free for potential additional software. And yes, I meant 2008.1 Thinkpad T40 centrino 1.5, 1gb RAM, Solid State Drive 2GB (I've broken too many hard drives) I would consider linuxos/puppylinux, but I like Mandriva. I used MCNlive on a USB stick up to know, so I would rather install MCNlive if Mandriva is not feasible. Looking at the other posts seems it's possible..... :)
  6. Hello dear Mandriva experts. I would like to install Mandriva One in a small HD with only 2 GB. I know usually at least 4 GB are necessary. There is some way to select witch packages to install? Maybe I can install MCNlive instead? Thank you
  7. BTW, if you have a CF I can send you a PCMCIA adapter. Obviously, take your time!
  8. Looks like you found the solution...I am crossing the fingers! The collaboration between motivated and expert people is the key of the opensource software success, and with your MCNlive you made a wonderful job.
  9. Ok, I got it. Still I don't understand why with toronto I can see the CF partitons without reinsert it.... BTW, is too late to ask you to add mozilla thunderbird and synce to the pilota.iso? Thank you so much!
  10. Hello Chris, I have found this: https://www.agol.dk/elgaard/pcmciaboot/ It can be useful for our purpose?
  11. Thank you very much for this customised version, I really appreciate your kind support. :D Still I don't understand why with toronto I could see the CF partitions without the need to extract-insert it, and with pilota.iso I cannot..... Paolo
  12. No problem at all, thank you for your time!

  13. When I boot with the default in MCNlive toronto I don´t need to re-insert the CF, that´s the point!
  14. The weird is that with MCNlive toronto I could see the partition icons in devices, not with this pilota.iso I cannot. Don´t you think this is the problem? Yes, it is. Having my data storage on an external USB hard drive, I don´t need an internal hd. Actually, I can use a 1gb SD card of my camera into an USB adapter, but the CF into the PCMCIA was convenient beacause I don´t need to remove it when I move the laptop. Thank you so much. Do you know an open source software to use the skype account?
  15. No, neither I can see the partitions icons in devices. I think this is the main problem, because before, booting MCNlive toronto from CD, I could see the partitions icons in devices. I had to extract and insert again the CF in the PCMCIA slot, now I can see the partitions icons in devices, after click on these are mounted. I made a 50mb persistent loop. During the boot, after loaded the PCMCIA, appears: can´t open etc/ftstab, then: mcnlive.loop not found. I copied the livecd.sqfs to the the FAT partition, but when I boot from pcmcia, after `searching for the loop image´ I read: exiting LINUXRC, then after some rows: can´t access tly job control turned off
  16. I downloaded the iso, burned the CD, booted from it, perfect. Thank you very much for this customised version! The SF image is wonderful. :P Unfortunately, having the CF inserted before the boot, I cannot see the partitions, even in devices.... If I extract and insert again the CF in the PCMCIA slot, now I can see the 2 partitions in devices, but still I see there that these are unmounted, and I cannot see them by typing mount. If I click on the partitions icons within devices, finally are mounted, and typing mount I get: /dev/hde2 on /media/disk type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,sync,uhelper=hal,data=ordered) /dev/hde1 on /media/disk-1 type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,uhelper=hal,flush,uid=500,utf8,shortname=lower) Looks like it´s harder then I thought, sorry :huh:
  17. I made two 2 GB partitions Disk /dev/hde: 4159 MB, 4159733760 bytes 16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 8060 cylinders Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hde1 * 1 4059 2045704+ b W95 FAT32 /dev/hde2 4060 8060 2016504 83 Linux
  18. Customisation? That´s wonderful! :D I just would like to include Skype and I would like better, if possible, Mozilla firefox than Opera. Finally, could you put on the background desktop a San Francisco image like this one? http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=359648668&size=l I would avoid the games and the whole office package: I want to load Openoffice in the persitent loop, that´s no limit to the amount of programs loaded there, right? Thank you, I think for the laptop users to have linux in the flash card, that you can keep inside, unless the usb key, would be alread awesome....
  19. What a honor! :D Thank you so much! I'll check this post every day.
  20. what bootcode in that case? Livecd frompcmcia? So kind of you! :D Disk /dev/hde: 4159 MB, 4159733760 bytes 16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 8060 cylinders Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hde1 1 1509 760504+ 83 Linux /dev/hde2 * 1 1 0 0 Empty Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/hde3 * 1 1 0 0 Empty Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/hde4 * 1 1 0 0 Empty Partition 4 does not end on cylinder boundary.
  21. Of course I am ready to test! I never tried remaster on fly because my Thinkpad has just 216mb of ram, I have to use a swap partiton? I am booting from cd, but I am wondering if after your fixes I could boot from the cf inside the pcmcia... I'd like better to create by MCC another partition, either ntfs or ext3, on the 4gb compact flash, but I could also use an external usb hard disk with ntfs partitions. Let me know wich is the best option....

  23. Hello all, I have successfully created mcnlive.loop on a ext3 partition on a Compact Flash inserted in my laptop via an PCMCIA adapter. No way to load it during the MCNlive toronto boot from CD, using the option persist. Probably because it is not mounted by default, but only after I click on this partition icon of Devices?
