Hi Antoine, thanks for that input, it is just what I thought would be the reason.

Well, this is Suse here, but the problem seems to be the same. At least good to know why... :-) > > You have to create a custom kernel that fit exactly your hardwares. If I only knew how... I've discussed this topic with several folks in forums, but they didn't (want to?) understand the difference between compiling a kernel and making a configuration for LTSP. Sure, it's simple to switch certain things on and off, but making a new, compact kernel is something different. > > The actual kernel of debian is set to work with everything witch consume > a lot of memory .... witch explain the bugs for systems with less than > 256MB Yep! I could see that it searches for a second network port for example, and lots of things which are simply superfluous. > > The Via Epia C3 trouble is just that the system is build with PAE witch > is incompatible with this system (and also some instructions are missing) Ok... so a plain 32bit kernel would do, right?

I'll try to find some specific howtos if needed. Oh, that would be great! Thanks in advance for your help! Maybe you can point me to some instruction that goes through the necessary steps.
