Re: toshiba tecra

Hi Florin,

I am using a Toshiba Tecra 730CDT with RedHat5.0. - not exactly
your machine but close enough. 

I was able to install (and feel proud of myself) RedHat5.0 on 
a third party hard disk (a CMS 3.2GB). My notes here says I 
selected 8 bits and "1024x768" when I was installing the XFree86.

Hope this helps.

My problem is I could not make its internal modem to work with
minicom (even as a root). I tried hard but still have no clue. 
If you can make the modem to work with minicom, please let me know.

Thank you and good luck to you!

Philip
