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.
