dear linuxers,

i have a rather antiquated Twinhead Slimnote 712cv laptop with the following config

Intel Pentium 120 Mhz
16Mb RAM
1.04Gb HDD
Touchpad pointing device
2PCMCIA slots

i want to install debian on this system and use it for some basic wordprocessing, mail and stuff like that.. i would also like to use X, maybe with a light window manager like fvwm or flvwm. i've read a document at http://www.angieandthor.de/thor/boxes/endeavour.htm. i want to know if the SLIP based install is feasable using a computer running winXP and apache.

i really would like to get this thing working soon so if anybody out there has any ideas about how i can do this any more easily or faster please do tell.

gautam.

By the time I'd grown up, I naturally supposed that I'd be grown up.

First of all u should know the hardware details of your monitor such as the horizontal and vertical refresh rate and then if possible change the fields in the Xconfigurator file using any editor.

p.s X doesnt work very well on laptops no matter how hard u try.
