I have 2 machines here, a PentiumII/400 handbuilt, and a P-II/350
pre-built. Mandrake 7.1 runs fine on both of them. I think it is more a
matter of having more or less well supported hardware than where the
system comes from. When I stick a winmodem into the handbuilt, it won't
run. When I hook up the old 28.8K external modem to the ttyS1 port of the
prebuilt, it will run.
