14.1 Install on a Thinkpad W530.... where is elilo; fdisk and cgdisk discrepancies
Hi,
I have just run a trial install of Slackware 14.1 on my Thinkpad W530 using a spare 320GB drive. An observation or n 1. In order to get any screen output when booting the install DVD, I had to enable the Integrated Graphics only AND run the KMS build ... no sweat but it took a few tries to get there. 2. Using fdisk my harddrive has a reported capacity of 320G Using cgdisk it has a reported capacity of 298G ... anyone know why? 3. I cannot find the elilo binary or man pages on my installed system. I have now put the 14.1 system aside .... tired, bedtime is here ... rule 16B ... do not attempt a new install after 11:30 pm :-) Try some more tomorrow cheers pete pete hilton saruman@ruvolo-hilton.org |
Hi:
I'm not sure why you have a 22 gigabyte discrepancy/difference. Maybe a member that is running Slackware will chime in. I am guessing I (think) perhaps that 22 gig's is allocated to a Recovery partiton? Perhaps or maybe some other type of feature that the manufacturer put on the Thinkpad- (hidden partition)? I found a few links in regard to disk partition discrepancies- http://www.techrepublic.com/forums/q...e-discrepancy/ http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...repancy-62644/ http://askubuntu.com/questions/48488...-discrepancies About your man pages: Code:
man-pages-3.53-noarch-1.txz For man to work you need to have 'groff' installed from the /a or /ap series- http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-pages-153380/ HTH |
