As I may have mentioned before, I'm attempting to install 7.2 (as 7.3 ain't in Australia yet !!) onto a Toshiba Libretto 110CT. My initial problems were; 1. Boots OK from BOOTDISK, but cannot recognise the MODULES disk as it needs a PCMCIA driver off the MODULES disk, etc... 2. No CD-ROM - and the PCMCIA ones that you can get will NOT boot. So - my initial fiddles amounted to nothing... I hit upon a semi-brilliant idea. I have an old HP Omnibook 800CT that has a non-PCMCIA external floppy. So I removed the 4Gb drive from the Toshiba and installed it in the HP. The CHS for the Toshiba drive is C=8944, H=15, S=63 - pretty standard, so I started the bootdisk with "linux hda=8944,15,63" and was finally able to partition the bloody thing as follows (don't worry if it's not "perfect"); hda1 = From 1 to 20 mountpoint = /boot hda2 = From 21 to 221 as swap hda4 = From 222 to 322 as DOS (I need this for file transfers) hda3 = From 323 to 8944 as / This goes OK, and the swap partition is "activated" fine. I'm doing this as an NFS install, btw... I then get the following error when trying to mount the other partitions; "An error occured mounting the filesystem of partiton /dev/hda3 to the directory /mnt. Only root can do that" Not seen this one before - ALT-F3 to a shell prompt, tried mounting the partition manually, same error. On a whim, tried mounting the NFS partition from the server via; mount 192.168.1.250:/home/jon/suse/72 /mnt and I get the same error..... I'm really stumped on this one - any ideas ? This is destroying my sleep patterns...:-) Jon P.S. I know the drive is OK - it's been low-leveled according to Toshiba's specs. --
