Hi,
PC 14 is a Pentium MMX 166, 32M, 540M hd.
Installs Red Hat Linux 7.2 fine from CheapByte CDs onto larger hard
drive. It runs KDE and Konqueror. It's Ok. A lot of disk thrashing. Not
really very fast. But usable.
These tests were done with the 540 Meg Seagate. I used boot.img
and v0.7.0 update disk for these tests.
This size hard drive would not autopartition. I used fdisk to set up two
partitions. 450 Meg for /. The rest for swap.
None of the configurations would fit in 450 Meg. I used custom. I
selected only network support, dial-up support, and Internet/Web.
The custom installer is real nice and shows how many megs for the
selected configuration. Printing Support is over 100 megs. Most
people will want to print even though I rarely do. Almost any
configuration with Printing Support would eat the whole drive.
Maybe there is a way to install support for a printer from the CD and
not take 100 Megs. ???
And then it installed. And I was on the net. Over my LAN. I pinged
my gateway. I pinged out.
I tried lynx. No lynx! I tried links. I was browsing the net.
-------
Now the bad news. I physically removed 16 Meg of RAM. Now PC 14
has only 16 meg.
I boot. It asks for the update disk. It tells me I don't have enough ram
to install. When I go OK it resets.
Is there something else I should try here?
Thanks,
Hairy Larry
