The Legacy OS 2.1 LTS Community Project

John,

I did try it out and I thought it was absolutely glorious. Fantastic job... except for one thing. I need Ath5k. If it boots and it gets online, everything else is fixable.

I do think you should consider giving it a huge injection of wifi modules to choose from.

Like I say, it's beautiful. A real work of art. I only suggest you go ahead and give it a boost in the wifi support area, as well as making sure it can always boot somehow, even if it's only xvesa.

Just a suggestion from a nobody. You did a great job.

Hi,

I tried an installation of your os. I made a fat32 boot partition at the usbstick.
Then I moved the data with unetbootin from the iso-file.

I am trying at old Dell D420 laptop.
I want to install LegacyOS in the hda3 partition.

What is the solution?

Best regards

I am pretty sure you can't boot it from a usb stick. I have never been able to make anything except Legacy OS4 work that way. Burn a disc and boot from it. The reason seems to be that it always looks for idecd drive. So it also needs to be a PATA drive and not a SATA drive. Hope this helps, Rob

The problem is: this old DELL D420 has no internal cd drive.
I tried it with external usb cd drive and got the same error messages.
The booting from sd- and cf-card is rejected.

And I cannot switch the hdd drive to another machine, because it is neither nor pata sata.
