Subject: [gentoo-user]  2006.1 install on AMD k-6 ?
Date: Wed, 6 Sep 2006 18:31:42 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <loom.20060906T200416-810@post.gmane.org> (raw)


Hello,

I have an old AMD-K6 200MHz system with 196 M of ram that I'd like
to make it into a DNS primary server. I've tried the x86 livedCD 2006.1
to install, but after trying to load the image, it just reboots.
I ran memtests for a very long period of time and the ram looks fine.
Indeed Knoppix 5.0 boots very slowly, but just fine and runs a full
gnome interface, slowly but correctly, so I know the Ram/cpu is fine.

What's the best install CD to use to get this k6-200MHz machine installed?
 It will not be running X so maybe an older minimal CD is more friendly to old 
amd K6? maybe the x86 2006.1 liveCD is not the best choice?

Suggestions are most welcome.


James
