Well two things, when are you getting this error? During the install?
And on the other note, i am running 7.0.2 air! on a 133 mhz intel pent w/
48mb ram and i gotta say it runs so very smothly ( as i run netscape mail /
nav / dl a nice long file and use a xxms at the same time without
skipping... and gnome Icu.. oh yea im in gnome ; ) )
