J'ai retrouvé le toot que j'avais posté.

Ca m'etonne pas niveau ressources et performances.

C'est vrai que c'est triste, mais quand j'ai installé OpenBSD 6.3, j'ai fait un basemark entre Firefox 59 et Chromium 65. Chromium était 25% plus rapide :|

Received the BFB9K for my big #ThinkPad T530. Indeed it is a 3rd party battery, so i used thinkpad-ec (https://github.com/hamishcoleman/thinkpad-ec) to bypass the battery check.

It works! Now i'm wondering how long it can last with 9000 mAh :)

urndis(4) won't work - can't get the hardware address due to a timeout. Will need to use that good old ethernet wire.

This is how it looks from the inside. It's broken everywhere and needed a serious cleaning.

The disconnected card is the modem card. That thing that looks like a RAM module is in fact the Intel pro 100 ethernet lan card.

I'm taking the old Tankpad home. It may be the last time I visit my mom's house. I don't know if she will accept me as her daughter after all :|

Managed to get my siliconmotion(4) graphic card working with a custom xorg.conf.

I disabled kernel relinking because it takes too much resources, ntpd and smtpd to spare some megs of RAM.

I'm amazed about this low memory usage :) This is not very reactive, but it's useable !

@wezm
It's not great ! It would have been great if I could find why it didn't like that hard drive and fix the bug ;)

So I managed to install OpenBSD by tricking the bootloader. I removed the hard drive, started with the install cd and as soon as the boot prompt appeared, plugged the hard drive in 💫

Once installed, that trick isn't necessary again. Time to struggle with the SMI Lynx 720 graphic card, it will require a full xorg.conf I guess :)

OpenBSD crashes just after scanning the disks ^^

I removed the hard drive and now it boots successfully :|

@catdad
Yes, that's all it has ^^

Managed to grab neofetch ! It's evilwm ^^

That old Wheezy can't deal with modern TLS ciphers. I won't upgrade to stretch - it won't be able to handle it well with that amount of RAM.

Root password was... root 🙄

Maybe I'll go with OpenBSD and many services disabled 🤔

@catdad
Same thing for me ^^

That good old lilo prompt <3 It takes forever to boot - it's a Pentium III 650MHz with 64megs of RAM - it was 192 before but the RAM module was very faulty.

It should be #Debian Wheezy I guess.

Found my first #ThinkPad laptop in my belongings at my mom's house.

It's an iSeries 1171-L1G. Built in 2000. It was all plastic, i was young and careless, many things are broken.

I don't even know if it will boot, last time I used it was in 2013 iirc ^^
