My first post.....

I d/l'd the distro yesterday as the "live" version and burned the CD. Works fine on my Pentium 4 system and I was impressed by how much functionality I had with the default boot. It actually "saw" my Vicam USB camera, although it couldn't use it. It recognized my SoundBlaster Audigy card! I didn't expect to have an easy time with the cam or a printer.

I wanted to load a distro on my old Pentium II 400mhz system (256M ram) and I wanted to try the "live" distro first. Unfortunately, the BIOS of that system is not recognizing the setup instructions to boot from a CD (and I think it did at one time - how did I load Windows 98 or Windows ME on it?). I tried updating the BIOS with a later version, but it hasn't seemed to help. The CD drive works fine under an OS.

That system has an ASUS P2B mainboard. Anyone have any experience with this problem? I am still researching jumpers on the mainboard.
