pmsumner at 03:13pm on 02/09/2007To install any kind of linux onto a Cyrix P120 with 16Meg of memory and a 1.2Gb HDD. The main challenges being that:
1:) The CD drive doesn't work
2:) I don't have a floppy drive or any floppy disks whereas the target PC does
I am failing :) Mainly because all the pre-built kernels with nice installation routines I can find require 32Mb of RAM. Booo.
Instead, and in order to cheer myself up, I have put Ubuntu onto the laptop and Janey seems to like the easy-to-useness of it so far. Hurrah.
