right now I have three completely different machines that I test the cd on.
1) AMD AM2 3800+ 64bit machine, 1 GB ram, 250 GB Sata drive, dual layer
DVD-RW, asus graphics gard using NVidia chipset. never seem to run into
any problems with this one.
2) AMD Athlon 2200+ 768MB ram 80 GB ide drive + 34 GB ide, 54x cdrw and
a dual layer dvdrw, ati powered graphics card, sis900 chipset nic. The
chipset wasn't supported in the cd, until I mentioned it on the list.
3) Dell Inspiron 3000 [ intel pentium-mmx @ 266 MHz ] 128 MB ram 3.2 GB
hd, 24x cdr, wireless nic. [ test new cd when it's posted for support of
the wireless nic. ] 2 pcmcia cardbus ports. This is the beast that is a
battle to boot any current distro, not just the livecd. the hardware
clock is damaged, as even bypassing tsc clocksource with boot parameters
I get tsc clocksource unstable errors whenever using time functions,
such as using mc to copy the sources to the hard disk, or wrapping a
build sequence in time { configure [options] && make && make install }
I'm waiting until 6.3 is released to actually put an OS on this laptop,
right now it's "bare metal"
I also borrow four other systems and check for basic functionality on
them. since they aren't mine I don't have the empty drive space to biuld
a couple of packages and test that functionality.
