Will your particular combination of hardware work with that distro? If not, can you come up with a solution, usu by the mailing lists/forums? This is OT I know, but I am trying to get Damn Small Linux going on a PII 300 64Mb laptop, or indeed any other live distro, and it ain't happening. Yet I read of others who found it worked on a 486 out of the box!! Looks like the particular hardware combination I have worked well with 9.2. I couldn't get RH9 going for love nor money, btw.
