you don't mention how much ram you have... if you have 32 mb, try mdk7.2, it was long a fav of mine..
if less then 32, try 7.0 or something even earlier, (civilme said something about a 5.x version that was available for download online, (check the archives), it was made to run on 486's, so it should fly on your system. 9.0 will be fairly slow on a 133, (I know, I have it on a couple of 233mmx's and its slowish on them for X stuff). rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:newbie-owner@;linux-mandrake.com]On Behalf Of harry Sent: Sunday, 3 November 2002 11:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Pentium 133 mhz laptop installation hi, I want to get ride of Windows 3.1 from my laptop and replace with Mandrake running X-Windows should I go with Mandrake 9.0? or should I go with earlier versions of Mandrake?
