- Hello,
-
- I am trying to get linux up and running on a
- Leading Edge Model D/LT386SX with Rom Bios Plus 1.24 02.
-
- The boot disk works correctly but after I put in the root
- disk and continue with the boots, I recieve a
- setterm error, could not find con80x42? This is a flat
- screen machine with 80x25? The system does boot and I am prompted
- with a login, but it is not displayed on my screen, I know these
- disks work, I tested them on another machine (486dx,svga) and they
- work great!
-
- Has anyone had success with this type of machine and if so
- would it be possible to have the images ftp'd to my site, or perhaps
- an idea of what might be causing this.
-
- Please email: michaels@coyote.cs.wmich.edu
- or ftp to : anonymous@coyote.cs.wmich.edu /pub/OS/linux/incoming
-
- Thanks! I love linux and really do wish to get it running this this
- portable!

- Chris
