Hi all,
After following the various advice you gave me, I was able to a) move my
/usr partition contacts to / & modify fstab. Trying to get rid of the
/tmp partition put me into the "login-black screen" cycle, so had to
leave that alone. Did the 11-12 preupgrade with the only problem of not
having enoough space for the upgrade image in /boot; that got dealt with
by the download alternative.
So... everything "sort of" works. Biggest annoyance (machine is a
Toshiba Equium A160 loptop) is when the machine goes into powersave or I
close the lid, the restart produces a screen that looks like a
psychedelic nightmare. By knowing where things are, I can start some of
the apps, but the text is not 100% readable.
2nd biggest pain is to persuade the graphics that I only want one screen
image (maybe in 2 sizes for the Toshiba screen & my external screen),
rather than an image somehow split over the 2 screens. -I'll be trying
the script Marko offered during the week.
Then.... it appears that if I plugin a USB device, it gets recognised,
but if I startup with the device already plugged in, it isn't seen.
(Similar happened in F11 with my PCMCIA WLAN card, it was only
recognised when plugged into a running system.
And of course, Skype still kills itself when I try to test the webcam.
OK, following on from the preupgrade idea... If I want to do a clean
install, I have the choice of Live-cd, DVD-iso od CD-isos. I had some
problems last year trying to burn a DVD-iso, so I'm wondering:- can I
burn all the CD images one-by-one to a DVD & then boot from it & have
the installer find the disc images as they are required? Or is it a
must to have them each on a separate CD? Or.... as the Toshi refuses to
boot from a USB device, can I do a someone was suggesting during the
week, burn the initial disc to CD & then access the other disc images
from a USB external drive?
As ever, many thanks for all your suggestions,
Dave in snowy Rauris
