Linux Laptop Lamentations
I have an 5 yr old Uniwill n341C aka known as a Genicom Webboy and aka other names around the globe. I have acquired a 20 GB laptop drive from a dead Compaq, so decided to try Linux on the Laptop.
specs- AMD Athlon XP 1700 processor 14.1 screen 256 K RAM DVD/CD Combo drive USB Ethernet Winmodem Sound I tried Kubuntu Live- it stalled too little memory for the ram disk. Same Story with Suse 10.2 Knoppix did not load Gentoo loaded but I don't want Gnome, I prefer KDE and it was not fully set up for Network. So I start again with Suse 10.2 and do the text mode (shift + Enter at fail point). TWICE it gets to 99% and then said "db is missing from CD1" I am downloading Xubuntu.... I will post what I find hopefully from the lappy.
