I have a Libretto50(Japanese version) and a Libretto20(only Japanese version). asami>>Ok, let me clarify. asami>> asami>>(1) The problem with DOS fdisk vs. FreeBSD fdisk/sysinstall is not asami>> that you can't use the FreeBSD utilities, but it's that you need asami>> to leave some number of megabytes at the tail end of the disk asami>> unused (and sysinstall will try to use the whole thing if you asami>> don't explicitly tell it not to), right? Yes. Fdisk of DOS and Win95 are looking the disk geometry through the BIOS, but FreeBSD's are looking directly. I think that the problem is similer to the geometry translation promblem. asami>>(2) Is the amount "34MB" related to memory size? For instance, if I asami>> have a machine with 48MB of memory, is it 50MB or 98MB that I asami>> need to leave? In Libretto series case, the size is depended the model or the BIOS, and that is little larger than the maximum availabel memory size. For example, the maximum memroy size of Libretto20/30 is 20MB(8+12), Libretto50(US/Japanese)/60's is 32MB(16+16). If you don't have the optional memory, the leaving size is same. In addition, the size is not related the disk size. Thank you. -- Takeshi OHASHI
