| 731809 | 2008-12-24 21:37:00 | I once installed Gentoo Linux (with KDE) on an old PIII with 64MB RAM. Ran ok, not as fast as 98 though (mainly due to the fact I installed KDE and not a light weight desktop) Though it did take me a week to get the OS on there (I was bored lol) |

| 731810 | 2008-12-26 02:41:00 | I was running Puppy 4.1.2 on a Dual 200Mhz Pentium Pro with 96MB RAM Very nice, but problem is I couldn't install it since I couldn't get it booting from the HDD properly (SCSI) It detects fine as a USB drive when running live and when installing but after that it's no good :( |

| 731812 | 2008-12-26 03:40:00 | :lol: I think the problem is that while the drive is SCSI, Puppy treats it as USB (I don't know why) If I choose SCSI as the target drive type in the installer, it just tells me "Not implemented yet" |

I just don't like the learning curve, since I've only got maybe another 15 years left on this lifespan and if I can get something else (notice I did not say WHAT) running, then I can live with that. But I have a dream. I still like to 'xperiment a little, but not too much! And "dwarf" is NOT pc! They are "little-people". |
