My laptop is running on
kubuntu 5.10 Kernel Version 2.6.12-10-i386.
First of
all download the ubuntu or kubuntu 5.10
DVD ISO (http://ubuntulinux.org
|| http://kubuntu.org).
( If i have understood this correcly so is it the same thing but ubunut
comes
with more desktopmanagers and kubuntu comes only with KDE )
Burn and boot your Amilo on the DVD.
As for boot parameters i used the following;
Boot: linux vga=791 noapic nolapic
If u can surf direcly with your computer just using a dhcp then skip
past this
section if not add the parameter ‘netcfg/disable_dhcp=true’ , this
disable the auto config of ur network card and let u chose ip, gateway
and DNS.
Since i have noticed that on some linux distros u get a ‘apic
error’ and this aparantly is not supported in the Amilo A1650 hardware
use the ‘noapic’ & ‘nolapic’ parameters aswell.
Then just follow the install guide, its totaly selfexplaining and u
dont need
to answer anything but keyboard settings, timezone and a useraccount (
Except
if u disable the DHCP, wich makes u have to set up ur network too )
When ur linux dist is installed u might be lucky and your xserver
works, if not
log in, and set the root password.
|
user@kubuntu:~$
sudu passwd root
Password:
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
|
Switch to root account by typing su followed by your root password, u
dont need
to do this although u can type ‘sudo’ before any root restricted
commands.
Quote:
|
user@kubuntu:~$ su
Password:
root@kubuntu:/home/azazel#
|
Next step is to configure ur
Xserver with the configurator (or use my xorg.conf)
Quote:
|
As root
user:
root@kubuntu:~$ dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
And as normal user:
user@kubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
Password:
|
And here is my xorg.conf ( this should work if u got a machine like
mine )
