Re: Potato on a Sony VAIO notebook
I have potato running on a PCG-505VE, and it works fine.
I installed the kernel from CD (type ide1=0x180,0x386 at boot prompt)
and then aptget -> ftp for most of the packages (slink cd).
A good page was http://www.911fan.net/vaio (that *might* be
a bit off, but it is listed on the linux laptops page). usb floppy
is useless, and I never set up suspend. I have a DLink 560
modem/ethernet card as well.
