I am about to reinstall on my desktop, and the Turbo 6.0 Workstation is more appealing to me than the SuSE 6.3 I'm used to... What are the standard packages used here, rpms I assume(?) and if so, are rpms generically "built for rh6x" compatible? -and what x server version? basically, if it is

Ben, I saw the retail package for TurboLunix, and I think it mentions being optimized for Pentium and above. Unfortunately, some folks are attracted to Linux because they have expectations of squeezing some more life out of old 386/486s. I even tried it w. my old 486, which was well-configured

You don't by chance have a 486 or anything like that, do you? It seems like the kernel is looking for some device that doesn't exist. How far into the boot does it get? Usually, that is the best way to tell. We can pull up the system log, but that gets quite detailed, probably more than we
