My Pet Penguin Is Back

and he's doing his job well.

from JoeUser Forums
When I first received this computer from Dr. Guy, I was a bit disappointed to find that the sound and video cards didn't want to play with Linux. I installed Windows Xp just to have an OS and be able to get online again. But I really wanted my Linux back.

I spent some time tinkering with some various configurations and installation scripts. I finally solved the card issues but the system refused to boot from a Linux installation CDROM. Rats!

I made a Linux boot diskette and a couple of installation diskettes, downloaded all of the installation packages to a partition on another harddrive, and managed to get the installer to use that harddrive as the installation source. Finally, I have my Linux back up and running on this machine. My penguin is home once again. :)

This machine runs much much better now than it did with Windows. It's much more responsive and everything is running smoothly. Thanks again, Dr. Guy!
