This version of HOWTO is rewritten for updated information. HTML version

is found in http://ryoohki.anime.net/ hideki/VAIO+Linux.html. You may

|
|
|
|
<P>I've recently received some mail stating that some of contents in this
|
|
document is incorrect. It is because some reason, hardware installed on
|
|
more recent systems are slightly different than older systems. I will
|
|
start covering those information. But since of course, I don't have every
|
|
system in here, I would like to ask Sony VAIO owners to tell me more
|
|
information about it. This would help me a lot if you can put [VAIO
|
|
Information] in the beginning of the subject, so I can take extra
|
|
attention to it. Also, please include model number of the system. If it is
|
|
notebook, please include that information in a content, or in a subject. I
|
|
would like to apologize to ones that got confused by this document.

<P>Also most of procedures in this document is tested, I will
|
|
take no responsibilities for any problem caused by using any information
|
|
in this document. As like in GPL, please try anything in your own risk. I
|
|
am not native English writer, and you will find many mistakes in this
|
|
document. Please excuse me on those. Any corrections and clarifications
|
|
are welcome; please send those to hideki@chatlink.com.

</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>In this HOWTO, I will go over how to use Linux under Sony VAIO
|
|
computers. The VAIO computers are great, but was not very friendly to
|
|
Linux. But this isn't mean that you cannot use it, actually you can!
|
|
Throughout this document, I will assume that you own either PCV 70 or 90.
|
|
Since almost all VAIO models are similar in their architecture (although
|
|
newer ones have larger disks, updated video card, more RAM, etc), many of
|
|
contents in this document should apply to all VAIO models.
