Jan's Linux Log

This blog started out as an install log of RedHat 9 on a Compaq Presario 2538cl laptop (linuxpresario.blogspot.com) . However, I soon started to include little logs to myself when I made configuration changes to software, etc. So, I've moved it over to our domain, and changed its name to Linux Log. Here you will find some tips & tricks related to Linux configuration on a laptop, as well as software related things that I run into. I log here things that worked for me, of course, your mileage may vary.

Any questions/comments? E-mail me at linux_atsign_boshoff|za|net.

Re-Installe

May 22, 2003

I'm planning a complete, cleaner re-install, to enable a dual-boot setup with WinXP. I'd like to use the restore CD's that came with the computer to recover all software into a smaller partition on the hard drive, then use the remaining free space to install Linux.

This approach largely stems from my desire not to purchase partition resizing software that I'll use only ONCE.
