      Hello Shawn.              22 Mar 07 11:16, you wrote to me:               >> You will need to have an Accel. card with at least 32mb of ram        >> (64/128 would be better), and a lot of time (it took 48hrs to        >> install on my machine: A3000, Cyberstorm Mk1, 128mb ram, scsi hd.        >> cybervision gfx card).        >>        >> If your going to download it, you'll need ADSL or better.

I installed Linux on a 486-DX        SB> 50 Mhz and it took 4 Hours to recompile the kernal.              It was something like that! (This was two months ago). Aptitude and yum        updating the system was the most painfull part of the install. I have only        been able to get the serial ppp connection running at 19200bps before lots and        lots of error's start.              Useable: Duno yet, so far it's been a learning experiance. I'm not used to the        way debian does things. I have really only put debian onto the 'miggy' to give        it something todo.              I tryed compiling the bbs on it, but that failed with lots of gcc compile        error's.                     Stephen              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5        * Origin: -:- Dragon's Lair BBS -:- telnet: bbs.vk3heg.net (3:633/280)    |
