yeah, a cool laptop for work :-)
announced autonomy: 3h30 to 4h00 (varying...) to 6h50 o_O WTF with this estimation? (depending on actual use I suppose... I do not have that much to do with windows...)
effective autonomy: 21h40 to... 23h13 (pretending it remains 2h30...)
starting windows : 23h19'15 to 23h20'20 preparing conf windows then 23h21:07 (WTF, seems the hard disk is _slow_ and the conf is weird)
blue key at boot only launches restore program, use F10 to access BIOS (and boot on an USB-key)
BIOS / Config / CPU : Intel(R) Virtualization technology: disabled by default... (check CPU type) + Intel(R) VT-d feature: disabled by default (what does it correspond to?)
BIOS / Startup put USB HDD first, then USB FDD, ATAPI CD0, USB CD, ATA HDD0, PCI LAN, ATA HDD1
use F12 key at boot (POST) to invoke a pop-up boot device list (I should have done that at first... maybe I missed it in the documentation I did not read as I wasn't provided with it :/)
Installing Mageia on Lenovo T510
I prefer to use Mageia for partitionning as I master the installation :-) The idea would be:
- 30 GB for windows => with the objective to virtualize it afterwards under Linux, perhaps less if possible
- 30 GB for Mageia as it is my preferred GNU/Linux distribution (yet another occasion to test daily
- 30 GB for Centos (as I do not have Red Hat Enterprise Linux licenses... nor access to rhn)
- 10 GB recovery partition (to be kepts)
- remaining (~ 400 GB) for data storage: perhaps one partition with 100 GB NTFS, 200 GB ext4 (, I'm not sure yet, I may have to add a driver to windows in order to read/write ext4 as I think it's not native... (such a flawed OS...)
first boot on usb-key 23h36:17 system available at 23:37:40 o_O how come it's sooooo loooonnng ? 23h39:10 once french / hour validated... ORLY 3 min on such a laptop o_O how come? I think my eeepc 901 is faster at booting on usb key...
at 23h40 : autonomy under GNU/Linux is announced at 2h (on usb key, Gnome Live USB) 0h44 : 20 min remaining, plugging in some 220V...)
Installing Centos 5.7 on Lenovo T510
I'd prefer a physical installation, anyway I'll try first with virtualbox to avoid problems with hardware.configuration
