I have a 5Gb disk image somewhere, I think. it's the original ProGear
distro for the LX.
Hi All, I have recently cleaned out my cupboard and found my Progear 1050 HX+, it has no OS on it. I thought I would have a go at installing linux on it....
Originally (way back) I started with a Linux image - but I wanted Windows so I ghosted the image (BTW - I believe that was the wrong thing to do and I most...
Soory for the late reply-- I'm looking for the image. I have several archived copies but I've been through several moves, reorgs and disks since making it....

... Not especially onerus, I have a 1GB CF card in a laptop IDE adapter, I did the install from another PC as none of the Progear bioses seems to be able to...
... it's a full disk image, boot sector, partitions, the lot so no format as such, the .htm must have come from your browser as the file doesn't have an...
... Andre, I cannot get this image to mount, at least using sdd defaults. If I try to put it on a 5GB drive, one of the original IBM DJSA-205 drives, it runs...
... I've restored it to my DJSA-205 ok, 10336CYL 15Heads 63 Sectors/Track This is the drive the image came from initially, I have some partition images too but...
... I've tried both dd and sdd with the same result. MD5 is good. I get the same result on IDE or a USB adapter. Can you post the dd command line you used to...
Actually, the MD5 sum does not match yours; my eyes were crossed. Yours is 89bb7d42d7f51ed42fb8b1ff227457eb */var/www/networks4tv/html/Progear-Image Mine is ...
The second download is almost complete, but in the meantime I found why the first wouldn't fit on the 5GB drive. The drive had one primary and one logical...
Aha! ... */var/www/networks4tv/html/Progear-Image So are mine, all three of them. My problem is local. I downloaded the files on an XP machine that is...
... Success! I have a working Linux Progear 1050. Thanks, Andre. Writing the drive (once I got rid of that orphaned logical partition) is as simple as sudo...

I have renewed interest in the 1050s I have for a remote audio project, but my Linux machine's drive won't boot - No operating system found. I have a small...
Well, a second download yields a different MD5 which, unhelpfully, doesn't match yours, either. I'll let a third run overnight and see if any of them match. I...
