This will take some time because I have no way to take files off the computer, so I must type everything from the screen (I can do this for lspci and dmesg). I might be able to get you a "working config," both Damn Small Linux and LFS LiveCD 6.2-5 have worked on this machine, but what exactly do you want, and will I be able to type it from the screen? >If this is really a 10-year-old computer, you may want to add the >"nohlt" troubleshooting parameter (although I doubt that it will >help, >because the 6.2-5 CD works). Yes, it's probably around ten years old (I'll send you all the specs). I remember dmesg on 6.2-5 revealing that hlt was handled properly, but I'll try in case we're not thinking of the same thing. >Also beware: since the 6.3 CD doesn't work for you, it is also >very >likely that LFS-6.3 (built from any other fost) will suffer from >the >same problem. I thought Linux has excellent legacy support. Are you saying that the newer LiveCDs are becoming too new for my hardware? -- Get the word out.
