|
|
manufactured by
|
|
Kapok - <i>http://www.kapok.com.tw</i> - in Taiwan. It is sold under a
|
|
variety of names is USA and Europe. BSI

|
|
are just a few vendors of this computer. It's a bulky and heavy
|
|
computer, but it's provided with a big nice TFT screen - up to 14.1"
|
|
-
|
|
and a easily upgradable Pentium MMX processor. It is usually
|
|
delivered with Windows 95 already installed. The aim of this
|
|
document is to explain
|
|
how to install Linux on such a machine. If you want to keep Windows,
|
|
please refer to the HOWTOs available, for example, at
|
|
<i>http://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/</i>. This document is
|
|
aimed to absolute beginners and is not intended to provide a deep
|
|
insight into the Linux operating system. After reading it, the newby
|
|
should be ready to successfully install a RedHat Linux system on
|
|
his/her laptop and start working with it.
