Hi everyone,
I'm going to be installing Linux on my AMD K6-2 300 mHz, w/64MB Ram,
Sound Blaster 16,
Creative Blaster Banshee 16MB 3dFx video card, 4.3GB and 1GB Hard Drives
(seagate), 32x MAX ATAPI IDE CdRom and
1 floppy drive.
Does anyone have any tips, tricks, warnings, recommendations..etc
etc for me, in order to make this go smoother? Both hard-drives are IDE,
and with my first install (from a CD made in 1995) worked (sort of).
However durring the installation my cdrom was used, but when Linux was
running finally, it didn't work. Also the second hard drive didn't work
either. I tried to Mount both but they didn't work. Since I'm a
less-than-novice user, its probably something I'm doing wrong...but I'm
following the book that I got with the CD, its called The Complete Linux
Kit, its pretty old, Published in 1995, so its got a very out-dated version
of Linux. I'm not sure of the version number, but it would be whatever
version of Slakware was popular then I suppose. I don't plan on using this
cd for my new install, I plan on using the latest version of Slakware, and
implementing KDE as my window manager.
As I said any tips etc would be great, Thanks in advance...
