I had manged to install linux mandrake on a P1 120mhz, on 1 Gb HDD on a P1 200Mhz dual boot with win98 on a 1 gb partition, and also on my 1400Mhz Athlon.. I noticed a huge difference in time...The faster the HDD and CPU + RAM the better. IF we are going to install linux on some P1 machines iot would take around 2hrs...IN the mean time ppl can get some "training" on our PCs regards Roderick Scotto >From: "silvio" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: [LINUX.ORG.MT] linux/install fest >Date: Thu, 8 Nov 2001 12:30:51 +0100 > >Instructions to unsubscribe from this list at the end of the message >--------------------------------------------------------------------- >Hi ppl > >My opinion is and an option is that if they have or can buy an other >harddisk. > >For example , last week , I installed mandrake 8.1 ( almost in full except >firewalls prog, & >the other language documentation ) about 2 hrs on my second harddisk ata33 >6.5GB >where are paritioned by itself and at the end I got this : > >/dev/hda1 - 3.36 gb - free 376mb - used 89.1 % >/dev/hda6 - 2.3 gb - free 2.24 gb - used 5.2% >and difference for swap > >Mind you , I had windows ME installed on my 40 gb ata100 harddisk on scsi >port. >so I setted the bios to boot on hd01 ( 6.5 gb) harddisk > >In conclusion , it depends on what software going to install , it depends >on >the harddisk space >and cpu speed to load it !! > >Thankyou ffor your attention & See you > >Silvio > >Still I have got NO reply how to install programs with TGZ extension from >cd >or floppy, >and so how other new comers ( non linux knowledge ) can install on there >own >programs !!!! > > >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Ramon Casha" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent: Thursday, 08 November, 2001 8:50 AM >Subject: Re: [LINUX.ORG.MT] linux/install fest > > > > Instructions to unsubscribe from this list at the end of the message > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Sure, but we should set some "minimum requirements" for the install fest >- >a > > minimum amount of RAM, CPU, a CDROM, etc. Otherwise we could end up >trying >to > > install Linux on half a dozen 286's with 2MB ram and a 5¼" floppy. > > > > What are your ideas about partitioning?
