I am only just installing or trying to install linux 10.3 onto a hp dv9000 series laptop pc. So, its ok for the processor ,centrino dual core 1.5 ghz dual core. 2gigs of ram. but I wiped the hard drives by accident, fresh out of the box, by mis-keying whether I wanted French or English version of Windows Vista, and by stopping the installation by powering off. The system restore feature of F11 not idiot proof enough for me, pff. I know, shear stupidity. So now, while I wait for my installation disks to be sent by mail. I want to see what else I could stick on there. I got in there with win98, dos to partitioning software made a fat 32 drive, loaded 98, upgraded to millenium (not necesary, I know), tried to get some drivers in, did not find any at the time. So, then I wiped the hard drive again, made ntfs partitions, tried to load suse 10.03 and could not find the hard drives. Stunned, I went to XP, still couod not find any hdd's. I did experiment with 32k clusters but I reformatted to 4k, allowable clusters for XP, at least. After all that I am getting intimate with this laptop and dont even know what it has, i.e. what kind of hard drives, sata? or regular ata ide. My questions become,... What do I need to "see" what is in there for hard drives? And, How do I load drivers from the SUSE 10.3 disk, or additional media, and more precisely what are the "parameters" I need to key in when I choose to load drivers (for the hdd's) as suggested by the installation menu when I first setup linux SUSE 10.3? So, my needs are obviously a forum for investigating the how to's, and some resource material, (which I may subscribe to), for the basic operations of linuxSUSE. I know, it's too much all at once, perhaps, but my original goal was to use vmware to host linuxSUSE, from WIndows XP or Vista. My experiences with linuxSUSE 10.0 were fine although i don't know how to program. I could at least setup the network back then, though, so maybe there is still hope yet. Can you help me with some good linux resources? I stumble through the pages on the web, which is ok but I am looking for stuff so basic few pages are there for my needs. Your site seemed deep enough and broad enough with its index that I thought I would ask. Sincerly, francis. Hi.
