Hi guys, sorry to intrude on the wonderful devfs list :), but I need a
favor.
I'm buying my lovely wife a ThinkPad 385. It comes with Win98, but I
want to wean her off to Linux. W98 is installed on 2GB partition and
there is an empty 1GB partition. It comes with a recovery CD, but that's
it. No chance for a custom install. Her primary activity will be
writing, so she needs LaTeX, ghostscript, LyX, and X + Netscape for
surfing. If anybody has experience with a similar setup, good or bad, or
can point me to a FAQ or HOWTO, it would greatly help.
Me, I have a 486 with 20Mb ram, all linux 2.1.115, so I don't know jack
about W$
My real questions are "will lilo work?", Can I just move W98 to the
smaller partition and have it work? I would have to trim it a bit,
because all the shit they have loaded takes up 1.2GB.
TIA
