Mandrake definately is designed for pentiums up. http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/mandrake/Mandrake-old/8.1/i586/
<quote> 2. Installing See the install.htm file. IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY NOTE: Mandrake is built with CPU speed optimizations for Pentium-class (Pentium(tm) and compatibles, AMD K6, Cyrix M2, PIII...) so it WILL NOT RUN on older i386 and i486 based computers. However, a special version compiled for those CPUs will be available for download from our servers and on cheap CD-Roms. </quote> On Sun, 19 May 2002 09:30, Alexandre Barra wrote: > Does anyone confirm that?
