Hi, Conni, and everyone else,
The Toshiba Libretto SlimShock series (SS1000 and SS1010) are also an
incredible pain to get going, but once I did it was well worth it. I
was incredibly stubborn and got Red Hat onto one of my Libretto 1010s.
I wanted to stick with Red Hat because that's what I have to support at
work. Otherwise I'd likely be running Vector Linux on this box. I am
very tempted to try Linux from Scratch on the other one.
Anyway, I really can't help since I don't have a Vaio, but I wanted to
encourage you and anyone else in the same situation to stick with it.
The end results can be worth it.
Oh, and yeah, I'm going to document what I did on a web page and submit
it to Linux-on-Laptops. Maybe I can save someone else some grief.
Is it me, or is RH9 really buggy? 8.0 was remarkably good for a .0
release, or for any release for that matter. 6.0 was good too. 5.0,
7.0, and 9 were all problematic. Wonder if the odd numbers have
anything to do with the odd problems... :)
All the best,
Caity
