MHV-Live is really old, and I stopped working on it a few years ago since there was no point with all the other "Live-CD's" out there. I would try Puppy Linux Live ( http://www.puppylinux.org ) , DSL ( http://damnsmalllinux.org/ ) check out http://www.livecdlist.com/ for the full list. I use the System Reacue CD ( http://sysresccd.org/ ) since it's small (168mb) and runs on all systems I've come across, but it's for rescuing systems.
I would d/l and see how xubuntu runs ( http://www.xubuntu.org/ ) if it runs well I would consider getting a drive just for it and running it off that drive. By using xubuntu you would be using current Ubuntu code and features in which case most people on the list will be able to assist ( and it fits with all of our talks ) Otherwise I would go with Puppy Linux since it is designed for older Hardware and should give the best support for older systems and is also a LiveCD. Hope that helps Joe Apuzzo Gnu_Joe On Jan 14, 2008 4:21 PM, WestHurley ComputerReCycling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > This weekend I was asked to test the MHV Live CD (Knoppix v3.7). > > Was unable to run on an eTower 633ids.
