Debian Linux on the Toshiba Libretto 100ct � Part 1 Installing the Operating System

"I got this little Toshiba Libretto for myself for Christmas as
a tinkering project, as I've mentioned previously. I like to tinker
with computers, and I wanted a machine that I could use to
experiment with a full installation of Linux. I also wanted to
restrict myself to a command line interface only to internalize the
use on the console.
"With all this in mind, I bought my Libretto 100ct on ebay and
proceeded to install Linux. I tried a number of different things,
and referred to a bunch of different websites before I got things
working. I am not going to go into all of the things I tried that
failed. But once I got things working, I started over again to fix
a few mistakes and documented the process.
"The one applications that I was not able to accurately document
was 'wppost'. wppost is a perl application for posting to WordPress
blogs from the command line. Technically, I have gotten this to
work (I am posting this from wppost now), but I have not accurately
captured the steps to get it working. It is, in my experience, a
total pain to install."
