FWIW, I find that running Lenny on a 64MB machine is bearable but slowish,
and Etch was already too slow on a 32MB machine. So make sure you have
enough RAM.
For very simple uses, it works with less RAM, but as soon as you

I don't think so. I was simply wrong about it being bad hardware (most
likely). However another poster pointed out that ACPI on a P1 is
probably wrong and since the message say it's not giving results the
kernel likes, it could certainly apply. Try booting with

Not a card. Sorry. I meant a floppy.
I use a floppy with Smart Boot Manager v. 3.7.1 on it so that the
