Good afternoon, I've been working off and on with a UDB/Multia. This is a 166mhz non-upgradeable with 128MB of RAM, the floppy disk drive, and an external SCSI cdrom and hard drive.
There is an internal IDE drive, and it's VERY VERY slow, thus I tend toward ignoring it. Anyways, The stock kernel with a debian install works fine, but my I've tried 2.6 a couple versions and a couple versions of 2.4, specifically 2.4.26 and not been able to get it to load. I should qualify this by saying I'm essentially a newb. Is there a good white paper or clue list for me to get it upgraded beyond the install? Also, I can't get the machine to NOT start a GUI. When it boots, it always loads the GUI and I'm not certain I understand linux/debian sufficiently to know how to get the machine to ONLY start to a command prompt... P.S. I have no emotional investment in what I've accomplished and would happily wipe the box if I thought it would be appropriate. <grin> Thanks. Ted Letofsky
