alexpgpI found a page on Google devoted to installing Mandrake Linux on an eSlate, so I figured "Why not try to install the 7.2 I have on the shelf?"
Indeed. My experience installing Red Hat on the eSlate the other day showed me that doing something as simple (and unfortunately, not so intuitive) as turning off the CPU's cache can make all the difference, from the point of view of installation.
So, not having any valuable files at risk, I went and installed Mandrake 7.2 over Red Hat 7.1. I followed the instructions on the page cited above.
What can I say? X Windows works like a champ (at least I can move and resize windows). Now I can go download LogJam from somewhere, maybe.
I am currently 56 pages into my edit. I figure I'll get another 15 or so pages done and I'll call it a night. Dinner tonight was cooked by Drew, and consisted of giant shrimp with all sorts of goodies (basil, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic) on a bed of linguine. Umm.
Cheers...
