Anyone interested in booting their Aleph One PC-Card into Linux will be jolly pleased with myself and the right honourable Dave.
Collect from http://lgw21.sid.cam.ac.uk before the end of term a disk image that boots a -very isolated- linux kernel, and bash. BE WARNED: it's so isolated, it can't even see the hard drive, but the bootloader loads the contents of the drive into a RAM disk, and you can play around in the BASH shell.
Choose 'root directory' then the 'Linux' folder, then 'Drive_C'
Make sure you set the type of the file to 'DOSDisc' and then use it as your harddrive in !PCConfig
This is Dave's work. I deserve none of the credit. Just love me for providing the machine for him to experiment on.
Later versions will contain more toys ... |

Later versions will contain more toys ... Sorry, nothing to do with the Linux (I'm sure it's lovely), but http://lgw21.sid.cam.ac.uk/cgi-bin/filer?dir= sometimes returns no listing, and gibberish instead of the directory title, e.g. it's just given me "Contents of SS€€Soptoff,opton€€Minimum sizeian€€€€12.0
". Something wrong with WebJames' filer script? |

Yes. I am annoyed because I don't have time to fix it now (exams coming up etc.)
Usually, banging refresh a few times (nb. not pressing, as this never helps) will usually clear up the problem.
Sorry for the inconvenience. |

Choose 'root directory' then the 'Linux' folder, then 'Drive_C' Trouble is, RISC OS sees Drive_C as a directory and thus so does Webjames! Perhaps you could set the filetype to Data in RISC OS? |

Sure. Sorry.
Please remember to set the filetype back to DOSDisc or whatever it's supposed to be on retrieval!
(Edited today at now o'clock: still haven't done it yet. Sorry. Will do tonight. Prob.)
