[ltp] IBM R51 anyone?

[Parag Shah]

I just installed FC2 and it seems to be working ok. i was trying to
install fc1. it would go to the stage where it was to copy an install
image to the drive and then give me a message saying that there was
not enough hard drive space. dunno what really was happening.

FC2 installed smoothly without any glitches whatsoever.

my partition table:
   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *           1       60945    30716248+   7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2          146146      155055     4490640   12  Compaq diagnostics
/dev/hda3           60946       62970     1020600   83  Linux
/dev/hda4           62971      146145    41920200    f  W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda5           62971       90000    13623088+  83  Linux
/dev/hda6           90001       92025     1020568+  82  Linux swap
 
Partition table entries are not in disk order

I think the Compaq diagnotics partition is IBM's rescue partition.

I have not been able to install centrino on this. any clues about drivers?
