I just got a 486 from my uncle, which is great. The bad part is that it only has 4 meg of RAM. I've been trying to install Debian on it, using the lowmem boot disk, but I've only gotten it to boot once. This allowed me to create a swap space and a temporary root partition. I have not yet been able to complete the installation. I'm using Debian 2.0, with a 2.1 boot disk. Are there any distributions that work better on a low memory system? Is it worth the trouble? In a few weeks I'll be buying a P3 motherboard and 64M of ram. This means that a lot of hardware is going to be moving down the chain. -- Morgan Wajda-Levie http://www.worldaxes.com/wajdalev PGP fingerprint: A353 C750 660E D8B6 5616 F4D8 7771 DD21 7BF6 221C http://www.worldaxes.com/wajdalev/public.asc for PGP key encrypted mail preferred Attachment:
