A mate and I repair and recycle old computers (well generally pentium
111 and 4's to sell so a disability employment agency can employ the
intellectually disabled.
We see lots of computers. We used to load Puppy Linux and it's newer
version Dingo. Small size, and great hardware detection, but lately
we've been loading gOS 3.1 into the pentium 4's or better desktops.
Usually with 512 of memory.
A common problem is acpi causing initially the live cd to fail to
load, and then interfering with the install. Now I have a messy work
around which is adding acpi=off to the grub menu (done by using a live
cd load to access the grub menu on the hard disk. As the boot is messy
after this (it works just) I feel there must be an neater solution
What do readers suggest. (I've searched the forums but found no
lasting answer, as all suggestions failed unless grub was altered. -
but if that is done should the config file also be changed etc??
