Evening All
Just a bit of pointless waffle really but I installed FC7 (Prime) on
this Fujitsu laptop late yesterday. I was hoping it would dual boot
with crappy Ubuntu however.
The partitioner is broken I think, it offered to use existing free
space then failed about 14 times. I removed the HDD and resized with
Partition Magic (On XP Home, ah bite me) then used a manual setup for
the FC7 Partitioner.
Grub may be broken, its only registering FC7 /dev/sda3 and not Ubuntu
/dev/sda1 I may fix that if I can be arsed.
It's a live CD (which I have) and uses the same method as Ubuntu in
that once booted you can do a hard install. Some packages are missing,
like 'Kontact' but theres lots of new goodies which makes a change.
Beryl is up and running KlamAV totally locks the laptop up.
Still got two problems which supposedly is this Fujitsu Amelio D7830
fault in that acpi has to be switched off eg acpi=off and at shutdown
it wont power off (which is possibly due to acpi being disabled) I
still have to press the power button.
The desktop background is the best yet hot air balloons, oh and the
login screen is pretty slick too.
