Re: [newbie] Installation problems with 9.0

[Jason Drushel]

Using the "linux expert noauto" command at the prompt I'm at about 66% through file copying, which is further than I've ever gotten into the installation. I'm sure now that I've said something about it it'll crap out on me though.

If so, I'll give 8.x a try, thanks.

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.
