Tips, Tricks and a short manual about my installation of linux (fedora core 1) on a dell inspiron 510m
Due to the size of the documentation written during the installation I decided to split the document into sections as follows:
- Hardware
- Partitioning & Operating System
- XFree86
- Power Managment
- Networking
- Other Connectors
- Mutlimedia
- Syncronization
- Migration to Kernel 2.6
- Downloads

The following sites offer a huge collection of installation reports for linux on a laptop. For me they were invaluable.
