Hi, I have an early version of Redhat Linux whuch will run under 16mgs. I am fairly sure that the distros you are mentiong require more. >From memory i think DSL has a minimum of 32megs Cheers Chris T (who is never afraid of making a fool of hmself)
= = = Original message = = = Hello again, I have now tried the Live CDs for AntiX, DSL, and Debian (using the Smart Boot Manager on a floppy to bootstrap the CD) on that old PC, and none of them work. The Debian CD doesn't even get to the boot menu, but that might be the drive being flakey or a burn error, and DSL gets to some point and then says something went wrong (I can't remember what exactly) then drops into a very minimalist bash-like shell, and the AntiX CD gets to some odd point in the boot process and then freezes without fail every time. I was wrong about how much RAM it has, it only has 16 MB instead of 64, so maybe that's the problem. Is there a way to tell a Live CD to use less RAM for the ramdisk? Should I resort to an old Linux distribution? Or is there some way I can build a Linux system on my installed Debian system for the old PC? -Aidan ___________________________________________________________ Sent by ePrompter, the premier email notification software.
