My apologies for the (possibly) dumb question. I DL'd the CD images and am trying to install on a Dell Lattitude LS. Config: Dell Lattitude LS Pentium III, 400 MHz 128Mb RAM, 10gig HDD As per the LinuxLaptop instructions, I cleaned all hidden partitions off the drive. I now have a completely empty, newly formatted, 10gig partition. And no OS. When running the anaconda installer, I get the error (immediately following inital VM loading): This CPU does not support long mode. Use a 32 bit distribution. What does this mean, how can I fix/avoid it (no, I won't buy another laptop)? Note that though I am a professional progammer, I am completely new to Linux and haven't used *nix in many years. So speak slowly. TIA. - Jim __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance Tax Center - File online. File on time. http://taxes.yahoo.com/filing.html
