I am assuming it is a 166. You might make sure you that a 32bit kernel is selected. lester 09-24-2005, 02:35 AM I think i could try :) What can you advice instead? vertex 09-26-2005, 11:15 AM I just think Suse is a bit large for such a small machine. You might also look at Ubuntu. Captain Pyro 10-25-2005, 11:00 AM To boot from a cd, I would install Smart Boot Manager on to a floppy disk, load from the floppy and then boot from the cd from there. This assumes, of course that you can access both the floppy and the CD simultaneously, I used the docking station for that. X is the only trouble so far that have had, still unresolved. :( |
