thank you for the answer. For my setup I use IBM GL300 machines with pII 450 CPUs which I can get for abot 50 USD at my local used computers shop and they work really great (they have Matrox g200 AGP cards). I really wanted to make that compaq deskpro work because I can get a lot more systems like that for free an it was quite tempting. Will keep trying in spare time. Knoppix does not boot (I have several knoppix version, all hanged at syslinux); debian installer boots and runs, so does redhat's anaconda. I think that at this point the clever way to do would be using the compaq f10 setup to see/alter some bios settings. The problem is that this kind of deskpro systems needs a special partition on the hard drive where the cmos setup tools are stored. Since the system does not have a hard drive, there is no such partition on it. I have downloaded the .exe from compaq that was supposed to make 3 floppys, but none of them boot, they just spit out something like ntldr is missing. Maybe anyone has an image of such a partition?
