With a low ram setup all kinds of other errors tend to show up. also if you have even one flaky chip on a set of ram modules it can screw up everything. If you just want to try linux on that laptop try mandrake 7.2 or 8.0, or try one built for a 486. as you'll note below I run three versions, but run 8.0 all the time as it works the best with my setup. ( no it's a amd 1700+ on an ep-8kta3l+ MB, 32mg Nvidia card and a SB Live gamer sound card and three Hard drives. ) but I got 8.0 to run on a 486 with 32 or 48 mg or ram. give it a try and use blackbox or such for a window manager to begin with. -- Mike McNeese 같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같 currently triple booting win98lite Mandrake versions 8.0 and 8.2 and testing 9.0 - Linux registered user # 248955 같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같 "If obstacles are all we see, then we've lost sight of our goal!"
